Plans are really coming together for the IN-SITE project. We have exciting new ideas flowing and two weeks booked in with the dancers to explore these ideas in depth.

We are delighted to have to have the brilliant James Williams on board with the project. James will be working in collaboration with myself and Nicola to create the final film.

Nicola and I recently had another research day on Sun Pier. We experimented with sewing material onto the railings to see how it falls; the wind on the pier creates movement within any material that we have used. We would like to try attaching bigger garments or lengths of material to the pier to transform the landscape more. This would also open up a whole new realm of possibilities choreographically and in terms of movement exploration. We will be experimenting with this in the near future.

I have also been looking at new ideas with the dancers. In our last rehearsal we looked at developing character through movement. Inspired by the flamboyant character of Bluebell, we looked at how to find subtleties and extremities within movement. This can now be used as a tool to access different layers of a character in future research. I am looking forward to working on more in depth material when we begin our rehearsal period at the end of March…
