Last week, we auditioned several fantastic dancers at our partner venue Waterside Arts Centre in Manchester, Sale. We set up the Fl0ck speakers in a circle and asked the applicants to improvise surrounded by eerie sounds created by Brian from We Are Stems. It was the first time the speakers were tested in a theatrical setting, and it was fabulous! Each applicant was very unique, and they all brought so much energy into the space (thank you!) that we found it hard to decide. In the end, we offered the job to ORLA COLLIER who just convinced us by her way of letting emotions emerge through movement. We are super excited to be working with her on the project.
🎥 Here are snippets of Orla moving amongst the speakers, fighting the ‘threatening sounds’.
