What a journey. Presenting this early sketch of “The Other Shore” at A Pleasance Scratch in April has been such a gift. The devising process was both enlightening and full of flow—I’m deeply grateful to work with the incredibly talented, open-minded, intuitive, and generous @will_edelson .
This collaboration has truly sparked something, and we would definitely love to build on this inspiration into a longer work. 🦾🦾
A huge thank you to The Pleasance for offering a platform where new ideas can take physical shape. The professional insights from the organising team, paired with the heartfelt responses from the audience, have shed light on the potential of this piece.
💬 Some highlights from the audience:
🌊 “This was easily one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. So moving, so expressive—so beautiful. The moment the brother used the sister as a bridge was very powerful. The soundscape really added to the experience. Loved every second.”
🌊 “I was captivated and incredibly moved. The part when the sister was protecting the brother while he balanced himself on her body was truly a masterpiece.”
🌊 “This piece was so beautiful! I particularly loved the moment when they were holding each other’s arm and walking away from the audience while also leaning away from each other… then the sister started falling slowly. It was so moving!”
Feeling encouraged, seen, and excited for what’s next. 🙏🏻❤️😇
