PLACE PRACTICES - on sites


The selection of clips and writing below introduces ‘On Sites’ activities and exercises from the three projects.

Working on site was differently expressed in the three projects. Whilst the work was about ‘place’ it’s not always possible to experiment extensively with community groups in such places. Permissions and staff were needed to support youngsters from the inclusive group at HM ‘offsite’, for example. Working on sites with disabled performers such as CY brings issues of access, safety and personal comfort. The group at OTW had more flexibility to work outside the studio, particularly during a culminating four-day intensive in a warm August.
