NINE POINTS TO NAVIGATE - The Brian Webb Dance Company

First show I have ushered and seen at this years Dancing on the Edge. I was very strongly affected by this piece, less by the dance and far more by the spoken and sung word. This is a piece of remembrance, of fathers who were young enough to be influenced, changed, affected by the 1930's Depression and the 2nd World War; as my father was.

The two leads (David Webb and Sheir Somerville) spoke of their fathers with love, and understanding. Both of their fathers had been damaged in the Great Depression and the War, focused on providing for their families but finding it difficult to care for their families. I know that one. The silent father who struggles against the odds to make a living and support his family but who cannot speak or play with his children.

As I said a very affecting piece, using music, theatre, voice, and movement to remember, with love and understanding.
