Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

I did an Engish Literature and Drama degree and worked in theatre before training in dance. I currently perform – most regularly with Punchdrunk and most recently with Lost Dog. I also make my own work and teach. I come to the Bank project with a desire to follow the very clear and thorough line of movement investigation that the SDDC company have gathered in their many years of working. We will see what the results will be – alot can happen to a person in 6 weeks. Alot has happened in 3 days.

The Third Day

“When and how do we recognise what is fluff and what is particular” Debroah

What is particular about the movement you are playing with?  What is still fresh? What is absolutely essential to that ‘thing’ you are exploring ?

The particular is something  – for some reason – I avoid – this is my challenge – I’m sure of it.

There is this peculair mix needed of playfulness,  and rigour – . I forgot the play bit today and wasnt even that good at the rigour  -  to tomorrow.
