Fleur Darkin Dance Company - DISGO




WARNING - This may be a spoiler for people.
I found this on youtube and just thought if your not going to see it maybe take a look.

Disgo!

So we have the opportunity to work with the Fleur Darkin Dance Company for the week on their touring project 'Disgo'. I really don't want to say too much because it has a massive twist for those people who go to see it! Basically us "extra's" are called plants and they collect us from different universtitys or dance schools as they tour. Our job is to assist the main company in re-creating a concept of dance which gives each audience member a new experience. I remember reading somewhere about a theatre driector named Artaud who did some very bizzare things to his audience during each show. At the moment I am skeptical about whether this is going to work or not but we shall see...
