- Analysis: 'I don't know what the relationship between text and dance is, or speaking and dancing, how they can aid or confound each other. Perhaps because the process of arriving at a movement is very different to that of a 'play'. It feels like text and dance are not natural friends. If the two things hate each other, then I am gladly drawn into their squabble. In my first encounter with dance, I have tried to create two texts that explore the experience of witnessing dancers discuss, undo, redo and arrive at a physical score. Having never heard people actually talk about dance before, being privy to the dancers' dialogue was a way into their world, and the starting point for creating something new' (E V Crowe).
