Golden memories of family holidays
Motoring along sandy lanes and taking wrong turns
While bouncing on seats and eating hot cross buns with sticky fingers
Finding the biggest stones to throw in the ocean, and drawing symbols in the sand
Then a picturesque picnic in the dunes
Alfie and Poppy as the younger Bijan and Sophie, on a family holiday. Memories are recalled by Pete during the show with the help of Super 8 films projected by his daughter.

Rehearsing ideas for a slow motion street scene with white sheets
This video is a clip from our last rehearsal where Vicky, Sophie and I worked on ways to incorporate moving in backwards in slow motion whilst working with white sheets. (we devised the work with the sheets in a previous rehearsal, where the idea is we are performing some daily tasks such as putting out the washing etc.) On reflection, the parts that seem to work best for me are when our movements are synchronised perfectly and from the video we took it seems this happens best when we are able to see each other in our peripheral visions. Perhaps something to consider next time we rehearse this scene.

Very excited to be part of this new work by Nunah Theatre Company. Take a look on Youtube at previous work by Nunah Theatre Company. Great to be working with Director Vicky Heath and fellow performers Bijan and Sophie.
Presently fusing ideas together brought to rehearsals by Vicky - often a style of movement or dance happening at the same time as another style of movement, dance or gesture to describe the narrative of the piece (i.e. the feet flow one way, the face and hands do something else). Makes for interesting work and challenging rehearsals.
