I began my research for this work after reading William Blake’s poem, ‘The Human Abstract’. The haunting atmosphere and dark essence of the poem was my inspiration and has remained throughout our creative process however as usual the direction of the work has developed a completely new and unexpected path.
I have fallen in love with simplistic imagery and suggestive gesture to portray our protagonist’s journey, one that we have all travelled and one that some will travel again. It is a fragile human situation I have strived to explore, both physically and theatrically, through an anxious dynamic and abstract metaphor.
Ironically, what fun it has been to research such a fearful situation. From the bottom of my heart I thank all who have been involved in this project especially the incredible dancers. Your talent, commitment and passion will remain a constant inspiration.
