Reparation is a culmination of research, collective discussion, shared motivation and choice, expressing through creative movement and improvised music, the physical representation of self-conscious social emotions such as guilt and shame, placed in correlation to that of primal emotions such as fear and anger. The work created can be described as an illuminated proximity of emotion, untrammeled and performed on impulse with freedom. Reparation will be performed in the chapel of the Castle Keep, Newcastle upon Tyne, built by Henry II between 1168 -1178, it is one of the finest surviving examples of a Norman Keep in the country.
This the fourth collaborative work created by Surface Area Dance Theatre - UK, Mico and David Nuss of Neck Blues Band - NYC. The most recent collaboration, The Flowering Moon, was performed in June 2010 at Judson Memorial Church NYC.
Both performances will be followed by a post show discussion, chaired by Matthew Cummins, Senior Lecturer in Performing Arts, Northumbria University.
Please note the Keep is a Grade 1 listed building, tickets are limited due to spacial restrictions and will be available from the main reception of the Keep, 15 minutes before each performance.
