Wallflower is a Tango.
It is a question of how much do I want to give you?
Should I give you?
Do you want?
Can you take?
How much can I take?
Being careful to not make the ‘wrong’ steps
To make ‘real’ steps
To not make shy steps
Being free
Being honest
Being guarded
Being me, then
Being me, now
Being with you
It’s none of these but all of them.
A conversation of dance,
A meeting point.
A negotiation of truth.
A shared dance
We as the performers take the lead
But a good dance leader knows when to follow.
James Monaghan is a theatre maker, performer, live artist, writer, occasional dancer, competitor, grandson, lover and human.
