embracing the creative process as a chaotic, vulnerable, fragile, violent, exciting, intimate and volatile experience, we will come together take a deep breath and simply go to work. i hope to create a space that enables performers who want to work, who want to find new languages and want to dig deeper to be able to do their best work. i believe any medium is available at any moment and we will work unconstrained by any personal or exterior expectations of the right way. the way we work will be the right way because its the way we work. i hope to foster an atmosphere of support and safety amongst the company so that we can interrogate the fundamental conflicts of the theatrical itself:
-friction between the performer and the content.
-contradiction between the awareness of moving in space and the internalization needed to realise a character.
-conflict of sound and action and imagery.
-hostility between the controlled atmosphere of the theatre and the unbridled chaos of human nature.
we will examine how the abstraction of movement can be contextualized to inform meaning and where the power of ambiguity can be harnessed to provoke thought. the outcome might not be the objective but where we look at conflict we might find resolution.
