It's Not My Body Chapter 3.5 / This Is

This bill consists of two conceptual pieces, connected by an emphasis on the body in space. The soundtrack of the first short piece is electronic drones and silence. The performer portrays conflict with his own body. Apart from a few seconds of grace, it is ten minutes of angst.

I object when the spectator has to do all the work

The second piece has no music, and the movement is a series of extended poses. The soundtrack presents a collection of vacuous statements which we are expected to make something of. I applaud the spectator having to do some work. I object when the spectator has to do all the work.

The bill gets two stars because the first piece displays thought and discipline.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
