Still, It Matters has been carefully curated and choreographed by the companies involved so that the audience enjoys one coherent performance in three contrasting acts. Part installation-theatre and part seated-theatre, the three performances will reflect subtly upon each other, bringing an insightful and often amusing sense of awareness to the whole evening. The Awkward Position - By turns beautiful, subtle and horribly awkward, The Awkward Position takes a fresh look at that age-old question, what are we doing here? Except that this is no abstract philosophical inquiry: by "here", Rajni means right here, in the theatre, with an audience, performers, a technician, and a director. Erupting unexpectedly into beautiful, entangled dance, or into exquisite, tense stillness, the Awkward Position may be the most insightful and inexplicably moving theatre you see this year. Ooff - With Ooff, rotozaza introduces a choreographic element into their groundbreaking TOCAR (Theatre of Command and Response) project. A grid on the ground, two speakers, a girl and some objects. Two unrehearsed guest performers (different every night) who agree to carry out instructions for action given to them by pre-recorded voices. 'Stand on D4 and grab whoever walks past you'. With them is performer Silvia Mercuriali - who IS rehearsed. The fact the two guests really don't have a clue what's coming next brings an openness which keeps us glued to the action. Saw/Sore/Soar - A visceral solo emerging from a struggle to beak habits and make space for the new. Saw/Sore/Soar is motivated by thoughts and emotions around the notion of change - How does change happen? How much is willed, and how much happens of its own accord?
