A dance solo by award winning choreographer James Batchelor: Notes of Self is an intimate blend of intellect and emotion for audiences of all ages. Playful, surprising, and full of movement, Notes of Self offers a layered experience: immediate and sensory for younger viewers, while conceptually rich for more experienced audiences. Developed through a year-long residency in a Berlin primary school, the work is grounded in deep artistic exchange with young people and their modes of perception and imagination.

Notes of Self aims to reveal movement potential within distinct aesthetic, emotional and poetic states. Stripped down to basic elements, the body and sound are given full focus to amplify the smallest of gestures. From sharp-edged to free-flowing, linear to rounded, trembling to explosive, the expressive potential of the body is revealed through the embrace of many different possibilities.
