I don’t remember where I am when I decide to walk. Maybe the idea creeps up on me over time - born somewhere within me the first time I saw the sea. Like osmosis, the thought it soaks into my skin and lies in wait until I cry it out as a single teardrop.
Glistening, shimmering, and whole - it falls out of my subconscious and into my knowledge.
The know, the knowing, that I need to walk.'
RIGHT OF WAY, involving walking the South West Coast Path, and is a semi-autobiographical piece that explores the intimate connection we have with powerful bodies of water, our heritage, and with the women in our lives. Rooted in a place of joy, breath, and deep listening, it is an embodied reflection on chronic illness, accessibility, Young Carers, and radical joy.
This performance is part of Form(at) Festival: 2022 | Back in the Room, celebrating work made by students on MA:ATP (Advanced Theatre Practice) at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
