Sojourn develops work through a process that includes improvisatory, collaborative devising methodology. This video shows one of three duets from our early development work at The Orchard Project for our next project ("On the Table"). The Sojourn performers have improvised phys...ical dance/movement responses to the following set of instructions/prompts from director Michael Rohd:
Make an agreement. Say goodbye. Walk through fire. Become a different person. Do something that takes more strength than you knew you had. Reunite. Break the agreement. Attempt to push them off a mountain. Slow dance. Be repulsed by them. Get 100 insects off your body. Drink the most delicious drink in the world from a stream at your feet. Share it. Force the other person to stay with you.Read More
