Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

The idea that each person creating a portrait was introduced to the group. This was the starting point for the making of the second quartet of the work Two Quartets. There were a number of things discussed in relation to the task.

-Try not to have a preconceived idea or image of who the portrait would be of. This is so we can discover this person through a gradual building of fragments of material, drawn from a range of sources including everyday, emotional, textual and visual stimuli.

-Through the testing of our material in different ways we will start to develop layers of information to draw upon as the process evolves.

-To be aware that the solo is to be directly communicated to a viewer. That this becomes a constant reference point.
