STILL HERE. ISLAND TO DIE FOR. JET BLUE SKY ETC. ETC. FOUND SOMETHING IN A BOTTLE. REMINDS ME OF THOSE MOVES YOU MAKE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.
Both funny and melancholy, combining text and movement, Desert Island Dances explores notions of absence and presence in a piece inspired by the popular radio programme Desert Island Discs. As Wendy remembers conversations and movements from a life left behind, we wonder what gestures we might take with us to a desert island. Jerwood Choreography Award Winner (2003), Wendy has developed a uniquely distinctive style that combines movement with text, and meaning with humour.
