The Bench
A 45-minute installation exploring what’s marvellous in the mundane.

The Bench is simplistic yet captivating, mundane yet marvellous; it will leave you enthralled in its mesmerising complexity, possibility and intricacy of movement on top of and around a massive park bench.  
Three dancers rotate throughout a 45-minute period; each taking part in solo and duet improvised explorations of a bench so large it makes you remember how it felt to be a child in a park again.

Mae tri dawnsiwr yn symud drwy gyfnod o 45 munud; y tri ohonynt yn cymryd rhan yn unigol, fel deuawd ac fel triawd mewn archwiliadau byrfyfyr o fainc sydd mor fawr nes gwneud i chi gofio unwaith eto sut deimlad oedd bod yn blentyn bach mewn parc.
