Jamie Wood is in the lotus position wrapped in green towels, with a cuddly toy tiger on his head. He throws tennis balls into the audience as he belts out calming Buddhist-like chants, calming his nerves. ‘All will be fine’ he tells us as he asks us to breathe with him and eventually sing with […]

3 is a Crowd: Fright or Flight
August 16th, 2013 by Dorothy Max PriorA game of blind-man’s-buff, the sound of a distorted music box, rubber glove feet, and a great big cry of cock-a-doodle doo. Welcome into the world three batty birds, emerging blinking into the light, ready for the call of nature – no, not that call, the call to freeze, fight or flight. It’s a perfect […]

Atresbandes: Solfatara

Caixa do Elefante: The Weaver
August 14th, 2013 by Dorothy Max PriorA lone figure on stage – a woman dressed in layers of rich rusty orange, old gold, and cream fabrics, a whirl of silks and cottons of many different textures. A pair of scissors drops down to meet her; a ball of twine unwinds and suspends itself in the space. We hear the rhythmic sound […]
