Once again we are back in the rehearsal rooms with Rhiannon, but this time on a whole new project. The Last Dance on Earth has been exploring the concept of how people would have reacted to the Mercury Theatre and Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast of 'The War of the Worlds', I have found this a very interesting starting point for new material as it has really made us think about what would be important in those moments.
Through exploration not only physically, but mentally, our character's personalities have developed. I feel that my character of 'mother' has a protective instinct that shows itself through a scene called Smile.
I feel that this piece has a real depth and the potential for more character driven choreography and that in my opinion this can lead to the strongest work.
Having worked with Rhiannon on 'Baby' I can say that this experience differs greatly from the last. How that work has been created has been different, this I believe comes from the rehearsal period being shorter. I am enjoying the challenges this brings as it keeps us on our toes. I do however miss all the babies in the rehearsal room. Having babies around never fails to put a smile on my face. :-)
