I left my shoes on warm concrete and stood in the rain is inspired by the beauty, power and complexity of the world in which we live. Through motion the work expresses and reinforces the exhilaration for life that exists in every individual.
The performance considers ‘struggle’ as an inherent quality of being human. Both deeply personal and universal, struggle is a multi-faceted player – beautiful, inspiriting and powerful, insufferable and harsh. Timeless and indiscriminate… struggle just is.
I left my shoes on warm concrete and stood in the rain is brought to you in the spirit of sitting in a chopping, changing, hurtling world full of dishevelled perfection – a world where individual meets collective and you and I are equal.
