We are excited to partner with FORM Dance Projects and welcome two international workshops in the Drill Hall as part of IDEA.
MAXINE DOYLE & GABRIELLE NANKIVELL: PHYSICAL LANGUAGES OF STORYTELLING
2- 14 September
Maxine and Gabrielle share an interest in creative process as a site of collaborative experimentation – working with people and environments to create distinctive, dramatic worlds and experiences that resonate personally and globally. Their shared curiosity in the relational dynamics between performers, audience and the work are the starting point for the questions of their collaboration.
How do we amplify the human condition, through dance and theatre? How can we unlock an individual language of tension and rhythm to tell stories, reveal characters and charge atmospheres?
In this workshop Gabrielle and Maxine will share their artistic dialogue through extended improvisation scores and creative practice, including both studio and site-based work.
