Thirst started with a series of walks, collecting the few relics found scattered around the island. They silently scream on the limestone in revolt against the continuing development on our island. As the rock is constructed, the memories are deconstructed. The performance intimates the invisible and using the body as a place of carrying memory, it explores the thirst for the feeling of home.
The piece is devised at the Solo Lab Mentoring Programme led by Rosalyn Maynard, founder of The School of Experiential Learning, UK. This consists of an intensive laboratory mentoring programme researching somatics for performance making; somatics is defined as a field within bodywork and movement studies which emphasises internal physical perception and experience.
