Gravity & Levity

A movement performance at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art exploring gravity and levity through personal experiences, memories and emotions.

“Our search for a theme simply began with exploring Gravity and Levity. This was not just about experiencing this physically – very soon we discovered an inordinate amount of narrative and thematic potential rooted in this enquiry. In fact, a very rich landscape of memories and experiences revealed itself and became the inspiration for this piece. The aim of the movement project is to encourage freedom of expression through the body in solo and duet form, as well as encouraging the students to work effectively as an ensemble.”
