This is the inaugural post of the MAke>shift blog, a web space we've set up to provide an opportunity for us - the artists/dancers/choreographers currently making and modelling, shaping, sweating, cursing and rehearsing, work for this festival - to record our thoughts, musings, bruises, bites (not from each other) and frustrations (possibly with each other) during the creative process.
Why MAke>shift? Well, why unweave the rainbow (as Keats would have it)? But as you ask... all the work that will be presented during the festival is largely process-driven, it is about exploring the processes of making, on an MA programme strongly rooted in somatic practice. The resulting works are going to be very diverse, but they will all, at the very least, have movement in common. And their performance, for and to a live audience, represents the necessary shove, the little shift, to take our fledgling work from the nest of the studio into the real, mean, hungry world of the performing arts.
Will it fall or will it fly? (Or will it Tweet?)
Watch this space (the one between the nest and the sky)
