When invited this company to nominate an ‘Impossible Task’, Rawcus responded by seeking a way of improvising in very different physical locations while attempting to find the same energetic connection and quality they experience in the rehearsal room.
“During Covid-19 we have had to be curious and seek out new ways to find connection, meaning and creativity when we can’t be in a room together. For an ensemble that works with touch, bodies in conversation with each other, energy exchange and liveness we’ve had to experiment with how to keep the essence of our collaborative ensemble practice alive.”
“Our challenge was to find as much subtlety and nuance as we do when we are in the room together, to feel the exchange of energy across the virtual space and confidently extend each other’s ideas even whilst not being able to see or sense each other the way we usually can.”
