Welcome to Bodies in Flight
Model Love, Touring from Spring 2008
BODIES IN FLIGHT's new performance work - Dream-work - is a collaboration with Singapore-based company SPELL#7 with whom we have worked before: Double Happiness (2000), Skinworks (2002) and Beautiful Losers (2003).

Every working day millions of us get up still half asleep, look in the bathroom mirror and start the daily task of putting on a public face: we try to work out what on earth we are doing - with our lives, with the lives of others, our lovers, children, friends, or just the must-dos of the day ahead. As we commute to work, this daily day-to-day construction of self continues through a strange overlaying of both public and private spaces: what happens on the bus with what happens in our heads. Only when we get to the workplace are we finally ready to play "ourselves". This is the journey of Dream-work.
Dream-work premiered as part of the Singapore Arts Festival In Summer this year.


Dream-work continues our fascination with engaging and re-sensitizing the audience-spectator's involvement in the performance by taking the work on to the streets. By siting the work in the midst of the daily commute to work we are following one of our core practices: that each work must speak directly to its audience-spectators by way of an everyday situation or experience.

Dream-work was shown recently during the nottdance09 Season in Nottingham.

Dream-work Can be experienced during Mayfest 2010 - Bristol's festival of contemporary theatre.

The performance details are:
DREAM-WORK 8AM,9AM,10AM,TUES-FRIDAY 11-14TH MAY.

Bodies in Flight is one of the most interesting performance companies operating in the UK at the moment. Their productions are often collaborations between performers, musicians and visual artists set in motion to present installations, interactive video projects as well as performances that seek to break down the barriers between stage and audience. Their work is always thoughtful and genuinely pushes at the boundaries of stage conventions that have in the UK remained predominantly conservative. Essentially, what I find so challenging about their work is that it can be seen as an on-going investigation into the very nature of interdisciplinary collaboration.��
