'Dancing with shadows'

Practice based dissertation

I want to make my own work in the future to bring to fringe shows/ tour so this is a good opportunity for me to develop my own way of working. The type of output, making a piece of dance, resonated with me because I like dance/ movement pieces.

I am familiar with watch pieces of theatre similar to my idea but not creating my own work.

What drew you to it? Was it the topic or the type of Output that resonated with you? I do have an interest in the topic it presents, misreading a script can alter its original message but I want to discover more of the "Perils and Pleasures" of script reading.
Is it something you are familiar with or the opposite? I have had experience with misreading a script, but I am not familiar with how it can be used positively rather than it being fully negative.
