The closest I've found is that in all I do I see myself as a Creative Facilitator. I move, I speak and I write. My arts practice is my way of collaborating with life. If collaboration is a form of ongoing dialogue, with the aim to develop individual views of the world and our voice in it, then collaboration is what I will always strive to do. I wish to use the art I am involved in to both provoke and nurture, to move people to respond and enter into conversation. I believe everyone should be part of the conversation and it's our responsibility to make it so. Performance as a mode of facilitating others. Facilitating as a form of present performance. I am motivated to develop a performance practice and pedagogy that can be relevant to all who choose to take part, whoever they and whatever they bring with them. So I may be a performer in another's work, a maker creating new movement or text based performance on myself, an ensemble or an existing company or as a facilitator participating in playful, thoughtful engagement with our creative potentials. I'm interested in edges and what's over them. It's all allowed.

Imperfect Is Our Paradise, The

Synopsis:
"In this unusual collaborative relationship between myself and a traditional cheese maker (Cambus O'May) I explored ideas around gift giving, considering the passing down and continuation of traditional processes as a form of ongoing passage of a gift. I ask in the work whether such a way of being, community focussed and local would be seen as radical or even feasible in our internationalist, capitalist world. I ask whether we maintain artisanal processes partly to maintain a link to our land and past labours in our comfortable, digitised experience of living. I ask whether this cheese really does taste better and if so, why. I ask the audience to be playful and ask if this might be a way to be. And I invite the audience to become a community for the duration of the performance and explore what it is to value debt as a way of creating strong and reliable social bonds. " - Tom Pritchard
