Wild
WILD, Motionhouse in collaboration with 101
Sat 8th August 2021, Shaw House Newbury
WILD, the daring dance-circus production from Motionhouse, explores our disconnect with the natural environment.
In our modern lives, is the wild still shaping our behaviour? WILD creates an urban forest in the everyday of the city.
Using the powerful physicality distinctive to Motionhouse, performers use dynamic choreography, acrobatic movement and hand-to-hand partnering to move through a forest of tall poles, which forms the striking set for WILD.
From the top of the pole, life in the canopy looks down onto the forest floor - a dangerous world of unknown meetings.
