Day Two...

Only a brief round-up this evening, it has been a fulfilling but exhausting day...

This, our second day on the project, was magically transformed by the presence of Riannon's amazing students from The Amanda Bollinger Dance Academy in Southport. In only 2 short hours Riannon choreographed them into a 'ballroom scene' which turned out beautifully. I am once again blown away by dancers and their capacity to tell a story through movement. With an average age of around 15, these 10 kids were absolutely stunning and graceful. Their concentration and discipline was very impressive.

For the rest of the day Ri and I improvised around passages of text, finding song and movement within the words.  It was a beautiful day of relaxed focus, and expansive approach. Such a joy. The work continues to bloom before our eyes, pieces coalesce, the story telling itself to us as we open further to the process...
