2010. Collaboration with the dancer/choreographer, Laurie Hockman. I created the costumes and sets and worked with the lighting designer, Mark Simpson.

Inspired by the Poem by Denis Brutus:

In prison
the clouds assume importance
and the birds

With a small space of sky
cut off by walls
of bleak hostility
and pressed upon by hostile authority
the mind turns upwards
when it can –

-- there can be no hope
of seeing the stars:
the arcs and fluorescents
have blotted them out –

the complex aeronautics
of the birds
and their exuberant acrobatics
become matter for intrigued speculation
and wonderment

clichés about the freedom of the birds
and their absolute freedom from care
became meaningful

and the graceful unimpeded motion of the clouds
-- a kind of music, poetry, dance –
sends delicate rhythms tremoring through the flesh
and fantasies course easily through the mind:
-- where are they going
where will they dissolve
will they be seen by those at home
and whom will they delight?

-Dennis Brutus
