Things are getting grey

Over the last month Igor and I have been editing, tightening and sharpening the dance piece. We came up with a system of names in order to communicate with the dancers who are predominantly unable to see us whilst moving due to the restrictions of the design.
We've had several problems with the fabric sticking to the dancers bodies,, but now thay are in costume, the satin finish of their unitards seems to solve the problem.
We made the decision to work with a system of grey colours for the big boxes. This made more sense than the white we had been rehearsing with, which had started to look like people under sheets. I also feel that t links better to the monumental aspect of our research inspiration. On a practical note, the grey fabric has helped to decrease the visibility of the dancers beneath, increasing the emphasis on the geometric forms.
The music is now pretty much set, and there are some final small amendments to be made to some of the design elements before the weekend when the technical rehearsals begin.

There are two performances. One on the 24 and one on the 25 March.
If you would like to see this you can. Tickets are free but need to be booked from The Place box office on 02071211100
