DAWN/S is a 15 minute dance performance set in a public space.
Dawn is the moment of the day when everything starts and
comes to life, reborn. But also, Dawns means dance in Welsh,
because with this performance we are aiming to bring dance
closer to Welsh people, by performing in their everyday familiar
environment, transforming it.A structure made from old chairs
is attached to a vertical element and wrapped with plastic film.
Intrigued by the idea of metamorphosis, DAWN/S aims to
be a metaphor of the transformations all living beings experience
in a lifetime. Our bodies change, our cells renew and we are
fundamentally a new being, that keeps, nevertheless, the essence
of what is left behind.
