Being a performer for someone else.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been rehearsing for a piece that will be performed at Laban Contemporary Dance as part of a showcase of MA Dance Theatre students. The piece I'm part of is by Nicola Conibere and it's been really useful to simply be a performer, in a purely dance/movement based piece. (thanks again, Harriet, for the tip!)

Nicola's research is taking her along many similar paths to my own and I have been fascinated to see where the intersections are. IN particular, she is interested in how people encounter one another, particularly in a theatrical context. The choreography is creating a structure that the performers have some flexibility with and our action is triggered by audience members entering and leaving the space.

I will do a more detailed write up here in the blog once the performance is over, this is something of a publicity notice for the upcoming show. There will be all sorts of performances going on throughout the building that night, so it should be a good time and I believe it's free.

Here are the details for Nicola's performance:

Studio 4
Laban Contemporary dance
creekside
london SE8 3DZ
(between deptford and greenwich)

Performance time: 6.30/7pm - 9.30pm

The piece is durational and only 8 audience members will be allowed in the space at a time, so you might have to queue a little bit. Hopefully not too long.
