On Off

ON off

Devised and performed in by Charlie Morrissey and developed in association with The Nightingale Theatre and with support from Basement Arts South East.

Recently performed at Tanzwerkstatt Europa in Munich. More performances to be announced soon.

ON off is composed with a simple score: when the performer says “ON”, the lights come and when  he says “OFF”, the lights go off.

The piece is an exploration of the act of making and performing theatre/dance, and of what is revealed through that act – that it is in itself  a very human endeavour – and that through it our humanity can be revealed.

The performance occupies a space somewhere between theatre and dance and works with set material and improvisation.
