Sportsplay, Philly Theatre Week 2020, and Philly Fringe 2020
another team-up with Mike Durkin’s Renegade Company and Lily Kind following our collaboration on (Kensington) Streetplay:
a devised series focused on boxing, roller derby, and locating movement ; another election year, another competition. how do sports divide us, bring us together, make us feel for the athletes, and for their abilities? how are the movement qualities transferable to dance and performance, and to what extent is the demonstration of athletic talent through competition already a performance in and of itself? how are sports detrimental, how are they vital, and can we unravel questions of society through our engagement with and exploration of the ever-present sport?
