Week #14 - We Are Wayfarers

Catherine- 'You Start.'

Nathalie- 'No You.'

Our audience of empty chairs are waiting expectantly.

SILENCE

In that moment we did what we did best. We had a cup of tea and a Jaffa cake and invited our audience to join us. 

'Sit down relax, have a Jaffa Cake'

'Would you like milk with your tea?'

An echo of the past in the future. We are back to where it all began, our first session 13 weeks ago. 

We went through the motions and performed our process from day one. 

We built a wall. Knocked it down. 

We traced and retraced our steps.

Our performance now the journey we travelled. 

The pathway now our destination.  

We are wayfarers. 

Our destination is forever changing. 

We are the movement of growth.  

And we follow the lines of becoming.  


This is a reflective diary following Catherine and Nathalie's creative exchange exploring how performance can promote equality between artists with and without learning disabilities.

During today's session we were joined by movement director, Emily Holt.
