Home at St. Bart’s & Longfield Hall: Initial Explorations

Home at St. Bart’s, Reading

As part of Dance Reading, Reading 2016: Year of Culture, Reside Dance C.I.C. developed a work in progress, Home, that was showcased as part of ROOTS Development Night on 25th November and JUMP! on 26th November at St. Bart’s Theatre, Reading. The company performed establishing their individual cultural identities in the site, sharing them with others to develop a sense of belonging and feeling of togetherness across the group and embodying and developing connections to the history and functionality of the site as a group in order to develop feelings of home. The company received feedback from the audiences which will be used to shape the work in their R&D period in Spring 2017. The following photographs are from Home as part of JUMP!
