I performed in this 3 hour piece yesterday in The Old Market Warehouse space in Brighton.  We will be performing again on the 29th for a private performance and the 30th of August for a public performance.  Enjoying recovery now as the mental energy invested in conceptualising the project and the physical energy expended in the full on physical choreography (involving hack saws and bowling with chairs) have left me with bruised legs and a performance hangover headache :                   
Event Details

Reckless SleepersIn 2010 Leen Dewilde started destroying things, smashing cups, breaking down walls cutting up furniture and sawing the legs off chairs...

A String Section started as one of these works, a simple set of 5 chairs, 5 women and 5 saws. A project where, the production of sawdust, the leftover legs, the half broken chairs, the residue of the action was as important as the action itself.For 3 days in July Reckless Sleepers will return to Brighton and work together with 22 women to create a new larger scale site-specific adaptation of A String Section for Brighton’s Circus Street Market. Commissioned by South East Dance for Big Dance 2014.For more information about Reckless Sleepers please visit: www.reckless-sleepers.co.ukWith the support of Coastal Currents, research funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council of England and made with the support of INTEATRO Creative ResidencyA work of dazzling maturity ***** Maddy Costa This is Tomorrow
