Participants will work with us exploring the themes of Frugal Feasts – power, care, violence, dependence – digging into our unique way of working. Physical exploration, reflection, and discussion will allow us to explore how and why we make, discover new ways of playing and creating, and uncover the distinctive physicality which characterises Frugal Feasts, and all Rachel Birch-Lawsons work (radical physical style – Die Welt) Participants will be led through the same creative processes and tasks we undertook, creating personal responses to the workshop and Frugal Feasts themes. (Attendance at the Frugal Feast performance, 7.30m 27 Jan in the Cube, NUIG is not essential for participating in this workshop, but we’d love to see you there)
Working with tasks that are:
Intense,
Playful,
Ambiguous,
Open but directed,
Specific,
Multi-layered,
Simple and clear,
Physical,
Rooted in body
Pushing our explorations to their physical, mental, and emotional limit to find what develops from boredom, frustration, tension … or fun.
Workshop includes:
Full warm-up: physical, mental, and sensorial.
Creative exploration: improvisations, tasks, games.
Opportunity to learn sections of the work, recreating these for your unique body – learning impulses and motivations rather than steps and counts.
Time for discussion and reflection.
Trained at London Contemporary Dance School and The Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, we have worked with a wide range of companies and artists. We have a strong commitment to, and enjoyment, of a fluid dance scene that transcends geographical and cultural borders. To date we have worked in England, Germany,Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Scotland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, USA, Wales,
South Korea, Spain, Ireland, South Africa and United Arab Emirates.

Frugal Feasts
Two bodies: squashing, pressing, molding the other to make room for their own. Individuals slowly being erased assimilated into one entity. Where does I end and We begin?
This duet is about power, resistance and accommodation: the fine line between aggression and tenderness. Visceral and tactile movement evokes trust and care, violence and aggression, sensuality and sexuality.
Exploring:
How care can be disguised or subverted by strength and violence.
How aggression can be passive: rejection, refusal to play the game.
Interdependence bound into claustrophobic intensity.
Beyond the Steps are Rachel Birch-Lawson and Khyle Eccles
