Here are the things I remember of our Mathilde performance at Bradford Playhouse.
All curling on the floor doing voices, Seth standing us all up one by one, Marie last and her conducting, Seth's high delicate sounds. Oli's low sounds becoming a bear, me hiding behind Seth, him competing with long low sounds then seeing off the bear with 'Twinkle, twinkle little star'.
Daliah and I pushing into the floor. Marie dancing without moving her lower back. Marie's story from the armchair about when Seth was a little boy and found a violin. Daliah's story about finding ballet shoes as a child followed by hilarious clumsy clown dance. Butoh at the end, a different way to finish. Mine and Daliah small movements on our knees that developed into big reaching forward, Oli joining us and changing my head pattern. Waltzing round the three of us. Ladies and gentlemen, Seth Bennett..
