interdisciplinary performance training - SDIPT, Hall for Cornwall/Director Jacky Lansley and Tim Brinkman - module 4
As part of the module 4 for The Speaking Dancer we explored the site specific place of St Agnes in Cornwall. A stunning place to find inspirational ideas within the natural landscape and old mining buildings left derelict, beautiful and full of history. Here are a few photos from the afternoon we spent by the coast.

Trisha Durdey and I spent the afternoon exploring the landscape and seascape that connects to our relationship in context to the place. We found pathways in the land that came to a natural cross-roads, and this became a place that could easily develop into a story between us. In our relationship we were abstract in our ideas and allowed the viewer to envision the picture, a lot of responses from the audience was of mother and daughter. This work was really inspirational for me and I'd very much like to work in this way in the future.

In the workshop we were working in The Hall for Cornwall where we also worked in the theatre and space site-specifically. Working in duets we were looking at the relationship between the choreographer, director and performer. This was a great way to experiment with the performance and the space and explore each of our individual ideas based around text from Ashes to Ashes by Harold Pinter. In groups we worked together to bring the ideas into a small piece for four performers, this was really exciting to have the theatre space to work in as it is so open and large, especially when including the auditorium as well. Coming into the theatre after working in the landscape outside was a great feeling, the open and vast space outside transfered so naturally when coming inside.
