How does it feel to be confined or stuck in one space? How does that change when
you are given room to breathe? Take up space!
Take Up Space is a joyous short film celebrating the unique movement and physicality of a wonderful bunch of artists from our 12 year journey so far, edited by award-winning documentary film maker Steven Lake.
This compelling short film explores themes of restriction, freedom and transformation. With a newly composed track created by Ted Barnes and John Kelly, who have worked with us on previous shows including: Weighting, What Am I Worth?, Human.
Take Up Space is directed by Billy Alwen and Claire Hodgson, Nandi Bhebhe has acted as movement director for this project, creating a choreography brief for the cast to respond to with their own devised movement.
Sophia Knox Miller has designed the creative audio description. The film will have captions and BSL.
