Thinking about the experience we bring with our ‘time travelled heads’ and being ‘comfortable in our own skin’ as we get older is the central thesis of the work that this group is doing together.
We worked with Mike at an open session over a weekend in July at Chapter Arts centre in Cardiff – with 6 sessions altogether working individually, as a group and in pairs. Mike introduced new languages which we used to improvise movement – we varied speed intensity commitment timing – we got to know each other – we developed our movement voices – and we got to share in watching each other work.
Mike used a range of starting points to help us bring diverse energies to the work – sometimes words – sometimes pictures – sometimes we built up from small fragments – sometimes we broke things into smaller pieces – sometimes we built on a previous development – sometimes we started afresh.
As we built on what we learned together over the weekend a sense of something profound developing among us grew. This is very exciting as we will be working together again soon and starting to rehearse regularly with a public performance in mind.
Thank you Mike.
