That’s where I am. Right now. On a tuesday morning. Sitting in my hotel room in my pants feeling like Roy Schieder in Marathon Man. I’m here working with Akram Khan on the development of his new piece. Last night I had the best pancake, well two of the best pancakes ever and then watched this.
Pretty incredible. I’m getting drawn into a completely new world. To watch a story without words and yet still feel connected to it and drawn in is something pretty new for talky old me. Kind of refreshing. Yes I said it, refreshing. Today we’re working on using words and movement without detracting from either and it’s something I’m becoming fascinated by. Being a less is more type of person and constantly getting rid of words to the bare skeleton of something when all I’m doing is talking, I’m intrigued about how words can be used when the body can say so much.
This is a grown up post.
In keeping with that level of grownupnessism. My friends Rubix Collective have the first sharings of the beginning of their ‘Houseparty’ piece at Roundhouse Studio Theatre tomorrow at 4pm and 7pm. If you like spoken word and want to see it presented differently go see them. They’re good.
Just realised that my laptop clock is still on British time. I’ve lost an hour. Am now late.
Bye
