At Once with Bone House North

"In the coffered riches of grammar and declensions I found bn-hs, its fire, benches, wattle and rafters, where the soul fluttered a while in the roofspace. " Seamus Heaney

Five months ago, Bone House North began At Once, a transformative dance process with ten women, seven of whom had not danced as adults. The task was to use a performance process to allow women to tell their stories, moving through old wounds, arrows that hold them back, richly delving into a movement and choreographic practice that evokes letting go and finding range. We had only one real rehearsal together before COVID happened. Suddenly, the mythical house became real. We were stuck in our homes with nothing to do but deal with ourselves. We did. These goddesses performed this work in June for their beloved. Reality and nature merged as we built our performance in meadow at Neu-Hinterland. These rugged princesses set free their stories both internal and physical, connecting themselves to the animal they are in movement, surrender and love. It was breathtaking to see a group of women fight so hard in the worst of times. We would love for you to join us once again for another performance of this deeply moving work.
