Fissure by Leonor Estrada Francke Workshop: 11:30am Wednesday 27th April
Devising movement in auto-fiction is a short workshop where we will explore techniques to generate stage material based on personal story, using movement and text. Sharing: 4pm Friday 29th April Sticky tape placed, like a cross, over glass windows and homework finished by candlelight and earthquakes. Schoolyard games where we asphyxiate each other to faint for a second and a thief-president and children’s stories where everyone dies at the end, always. These things can make a happy childhood, but they cannot make a play. Let me tell you, then, the story of Elisa, whose name I can’t remember, who is like-me and not like-me. Whose story makes sense.

Footprints by Penny Chivas Workshop: 11:30am Wednesday 4th May In this workshop, Penny will share some of the ideas underpinning her new work, particularly on how we use our attention, where we send it, as well as reflecting upon how objects, in this case, rocks change the space, and possibly change our perception even after they have left. We’ll warm up, move together, before spending some time designing the space.
Sharing: 4pm Friday 6th May During this week Penny will work alongside Great Snakes AV on sound to begin to develop a new work entitled ‘Footprint’. Using movement, sound, text and objects, the work seeks to explore how the term footprint is used and reflect upon how we may feel emotionally about our changing climate, as well as reflecting upon how it might be possible for objects to be involved in such a way to de-centre the human dancer in such a work. Your thoughts would be warmly welcomed, and we’ll share some of our process en route. Supported by Creative Scotland and Surge, with mentoring from Dora Frankle
