Community Response Piece
Overview
As part of our Edward Scissorhands tour, we worked with Farnham Maltings, Surrey Libraries and Woking Borough Council to create an original movement performance with LGBTQ+ adults. The piece entitled 'The Othered' was based on the themes of inclusion, exclusion, community and difference that are explored in the show.
A background in dance was not necessary to take part, and the result was a movement piece created and performed by a cross-generational LGBTQ+ community in Surrey, alongside dance artist Paul Smethurst. As part of the project, the nine participants made their own costumes, wrote poems to their younger selves, and devised movement for the piece all in a matter of weeks. 'The Othered' was then performed at Farnham Maltings, Buzz Theatre in Woking, and to a full house at Woking Library.
