Bon voyage? (1997)

“Bon voyage?” deals with the quirks of travel in a dynamic sound and movement work which takes the viewer from many a queue at the beginning of a voyage to air and bus travel to activities at the tourist destination and back. As with all company works, this half-hour piece is one in which discovery, humour and access to experimental sound and movement theatre all play a part. The dance is highly inventive playing with extremes of dynamic and idiosyncratic movement material. The sound, some of which is triggered by the dancers during the piece, is taken from the soundscapes of train stations, airports, planes, buses, cafés and wherever one stops during trips where most everything seems to go wrong.
