I believe it is possible to create a wordless visual movement theatre where questions of who we are as human beings, existing in a complex world can be partially revealed or explored through the medium of choreography, movement and dance.
Questions as I start to work are:
What might the body hold as memories, feelings, propositions, and journeys?
How might those journeys be communicated in a way that has meaning for an audience?
How can physical skill and technique illuminate a depth of feeling that might be quiet and disturbing, questioning, provocative and restless, and which doesn’t rely on the spectacular to entertain?
How can I deepen my listening to what is going in both within and around me?
Paying attention to ideas, images and sensation, and simultaneously holding the question of the making/composing/direction of the work; there is always a delicate interplay between what is taking place inside the dancer, the material that emerges and how the work is being constructed
