UPCOMING EVENT
propeller at CCANW
when birds look into houses what impossible worlds they see
A full-day workshop in Haldon forest, near Exeter.
Sunday 26th October
10am-5pm
£15 (£12 concs)
In this workshop we will spend time outdoors, practicing different ways of perceiving, experiencing and responding to place. How can we catch a glimpse of novelty, of beauty, of terror, behind phenomena that we normally ignore or take for granted? Using performance, text, and installation, participants are invited to engage with the interweaving of minds, of words, of natural processes, of bodies, of internal and external landscapes.
Booking essential - contact CCANW on 01392 832277
or email info@ccanw.co.uk
Please bring a packed lunch
We look forward to seeing you in the forest

Emma Bush - Fields
Emma Bush - Fields
Saturday 31st May
12.30pm
The Ship
Dartington Hall
Totnes
UK
A free event
On Saturday afternoon Emma will perform Fields.
In the winter months a series of fields are visited, often at twilight. The fields lie in the Westcountry in a village named Harbertonford. In this presentation you are invited to come and see something of what happened there.
In the fields lies a promise, a stillness, a pause for reflection with the impermanence of things, the myth of stability and the longing for 'home'.
Standing alone watching the light change, a rook flies over on its way to roost, across the valley a line of houses nestles into the hill. The sun illuminates their bright colours as it leaves the sky, blue smoke rises from the chimney in the middle of the line.
Emma Bush is an artist working in the field of performance investigating places and how we find ourselves there - our approach, our looking, our breathing.
She asks questions like "How do places travel with us (or into a theatre); a bridge, a cathedral, a field, an empty house?" For the project 'Fields' Emma spent time in conversation with a geologist, a farmer and an oceanographer. Other ongoing research includes collecting a list of shadows found on the sides of houses.
Emma is a founder member of propeller and is developing a series of lectures and workshops with Pete Harrison (also of propeller) which look at range of subjects including; rain, wilderness, plant and animal sensitivity to weather systems, light and visual orientation.
She is also currently collaborating with Neil Callaghan, Leigh Farmer and Catherine and Teresa Grimaldi to produce a new children's book and performance.

Augusto Corrieri - Performance for Beginners
8pm, Fri 2th July Plymouth College of Art and Design
10 performers stand roughly in a line, shaking their bodies loose, jumping and falling and dancing, in and out of sync with each other. The 10 performers, of different ages and skills, are all from Plymouth: each person has rehearsed the piece on their own, at home, by watching an instruction video posted on the YouTube website.

2.30pm Sat 28th July, Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery
Its been a good few weeks since our scratch at BAC, and we have shown longer works-in-progress at Jumble It Up, in Oxford, and Barbican Theatre in Plymouth, as part of their Ocean project. We have been getting great responses and in a few weeks Tim and Pete will be at PL:ay. The performance will be a little experimental, as we're performing in the Maritime Gallery of Plymouth City Museum!
Neil Callaghan and Simone Kenyon - To Begin Where I Am, Mokado
5.30pm Sat 28th July, Plymouth College of Art and Design
"Our through line is thin. Thin enough to be passed through a hole in your ear, thin enough to floss your teeth with and yet this is the fibre we dangle upon."
'To Begin Where I Am, Mokado' explores the intensities of seperation, loss and longing - the difficulties of saying goodbye, the uncertainties of being parted and the confusion of being reunited.
"When we can't touch, words are all we have and words fail us."
"What shade of blue is longing?"
"So we'll dance and we'll do, we will listen and venture outside. I hate to watch you go, but I love to watch you leave."
