BreathBone | PresentTense creates spaces of encounter to heighten inner awareness.
Working with Dance4 (Nottingham), InDialogue (EastMidlands), Middlesex University (London) and Weld (Stockholm), Vida and Jane developed a new performance practice through July 2019- Dev 2020).
Read some reflections on this process here.
Quiet, reflective and immersive, BreathBone creates spaces of encounter for heightened inner awareness. Audiences are invited to enter an intimate performance duet where gesture, voice and sound generate an evocative and meditative experience.
This improvised ‘choreography’ of the felt sense brings us closer to what it is to be human, giving voice to interior spaces of flesh, the immediate present and the phantasmic, facilitating a mindful experience.
Through the project we also gift scores so that participants can practice attentive modes of awareness beyond the performance experience.
Following a gap due to the disruption of COVID-19, will also be developing different iterations of this work for participants – easing into reflective spaces, opening experiences, raising and deepening individual states of awareness.
The project will also lead to published reflections.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, Dance4 and Middlesex University.
