Glimpses of Wonder

This new work explores our relationship to self & others, questioning how we view our place within ecology through our connection with nature, consciously & somatically.

 

The performer is viewed within a life size specimen cabinet, drawing on imagery from an era when specimens were contained behind glass with parallels to our modern screen based connection to the natural world.

The costumes were inspired by the collections of starfish and sea urchins within Sladen’s study at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter. The process of the original costume and sound design evolved alongside studio exploration with the performers.
