The Wrecking Project is part of a Links Hall festival. It brings together nine choreographers (three trios) to work with wrecking as a creative methodology and present original works next to their wrecked versions illuminating the fluid nature of authorship and the provisional nature of meaning-making. There will be one trio per evening over three nights of performance.
In the mid- 1990’s choreographer Susan Rethorst began working with ‘wrecking’ as a choreographic methodology. For Rethorst this method involved inviting another choreographer midway through her process to take it over. Inspired by Rethorst’s concept, but altering it slightly, Mayo and Corby have invited a group of rigorous dance-makers with distinctive sensibilities to wreck, or re-imagine, another choreographer’s finished work.
