Breathing with Bare Bones

'Breathing' with BareBones on Monday evening with both Robert Bell, Robert Clark (pictured above) and members of the JAC youtheatre was an inspiration re: outside / inside. As, indeed, was their BareBones6 performances these past two evenings. I went twice - it was that 'on the edge': on the edge, even, for contemporary dance.

Talking with David Massingham about the company's work, and theatre, these past two days has now so informed the next four weeks' approach to outside / inside.

Wanting to dance at the end of this week seems to supersede the want to act.

We spent two hours on Monday evening:

• moving
• dancing
• breathing
• t'ai chi - ing
• watching
• listening
• moving chairs

I could never have imagined that moving 16 chairs: in a space, across a space, for a space - could be so poignant, relevant, watchable, so moving - until Monday.
