Dance Work

• Dancers: Amanda Britton,Gill Clarke,Paul Douglas,Sean Feldman,Jeremy James,John Kilroy,Paul Old,Deborah Saxon
• Summary: Davies and the dancers began rehearsals by looking at many examples of calligraphy; how a calligrapher waits, holding the pen, before finding the right moment to make a fluid and accurate mark; how the calligrapher balances the hand and moves the pen and is able to alter the line from thick to thin. Part of the work involved a perspex square placed on the stage to become a frame for the dancers to enter and work within. They worked with a continuous shift of weight in their bodies to make their own physical marks.
