Impressed by what we've heard about Wayne McGregor's ballet, #Woolf Works - if he can create a sense of the collage of ideas presented in Virginia Woolf's modernist, stream of consciousness writing, our hats are off to him.
Woolf herself said: "Words... are full of echoes, of memories, of associations. They
have been out and about, on people's lips, in their houses, in the streets, in
the fields, for so many centuries". So true.
What a brilliant concept: the synaesthesia of the written word with dance movement.
Lets hope though, that this production isn't reduced to a Sylvia Plath-esque focus on Woolf's death. That would be such a waste, for it was life that was, is, in her words.
