Weighting by Extraordinary Bodies in Dulwich Park 8/9/10 May 2015


Events

Recommended Posts

In the beautiful Dulwich Park on 8, 9 and 10 May join Extraordinary Bodies, Southwark Events and a mass community choir for the premiere performance of Weighting.


Weighting is an extraordinary show about an extraordinary family living in a grey world of routine and simplicity. Across the bridge the world is full of colour, excitement and music. However to get to the other side the family have to risk everything.


Weighting is brought to you by Extraordinary Bodies, the UK's only integrated circus company with disabled and non-disabled artists. The show takes place on a 12 metre by 12 metre rig which suspends the simple and transformative set, from bridge to staircase, swinging and lifting the seven strong company high into the air. Weighting fuses music, circus and dance with a beautiful musical score written by Dom Coyote (Kneehigh, BAC) and Ted Barnes (Beth Orton) and performed by a five-piece band.


For the past few months a wonderful mass community choir made up of local people from Dulwich and Southwark has been building. Watch a clip from a recent rehearsal here: https://www.facebook.com/southwarkevents/videos/10152887211592843/

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
