I am not sure how to use this Blogg space, I was inspired by Ming's review of Rosas on screen as I also saw it and thought it was amazing. I hope that we can start to arrange some group nights out to the Theatre this term which will open up a debate about contemporary performance.... after Christmas Knee high Theatre are at the Lyric with Cymbeline...this is a great physical Theatre company, always experimental with their use of space, set and costume.
Regards my own research it is taking me a while to whittle down my ideas.... I keep finding too many new points of interest and departure.... I feel I need to start somewhere a bit more personal and have started developing an idea which looks at particular individuals I have personal relationships with... questioning concepts of self and other and how we attempt to break down this barrier in performance/ art /dance.... my themes of actual bodily space, dance and the way it communicated are the same but i hope to draw from these particular relationships and respond to them through my own body experience....first physical experiment is to dance blind folded as a way of testing my own physical boundaries and developing an understanding of how we perceive space through the body....I would like to develop this with other bodies...maybe a blind duet as my work is to bee about relationship between self and other... so if anyone knows of dancers...?! I went to a dance class at the place on Wednesday- it was so good to dance again.. I hate the fact I can't afford to do it regularly.... anyway enough said for today.
