A Strange Intimacy - Resolution @ThePlace
Sarah Kent's 'A Strange Intimacy'
A man. A woman. And a relationship that’s got stuck. It needs a reboot or, rather, a boot up the arse. They’ve tried switching it off and on again, but that didn’t work. So it’s time to get creative – to renegotiate, fight their corner, state their case.
Is it possible for physical movement to convey, along with a few words, the subtleties and nuances of a relationship?
Drawing on Sarah Kent’s experience of improvised performance and of devising (both for her own and other choreographer’s pieces), this work has been created through improvisation and then set for performance.
The process could be playful and fun, or mean and nasty – a roller coaster ride to hell and back that gets physical but is bound to achieve results. Will the outcome be the one they want, though? Enjoy the ride; it will be gloriously bumpy!
Part of a Resolution evening with
- Mad Jacks Theatre's 'ACNE ROMEO', a thrilling and messy dance-theatre translation of Sam Smith’s frightening new play. Boy and girl meet in a violent world. It’s a collision course. A riot. This has to be a love story.
- Yoncali McCredie's 'Another Day of Loving'
Raw and tender dance-theatre by award-winning filmmakers Maya Yoncali and Andy McCredie. Another Day Of Loving is a romantic and honest approach to grief in a relationship, exposing what it means to be in love in the aftermath of death. Churning between techno and 1960’s Hollywood film scores, the piece ricochets through the character’s bodies and inner turmoil, to present a heartfelt narrative on love and loss.
