OVER THE WALL is a short dance piece inspired by a photo by Don McCullin taken in 1971 titled “Gangs of boys escaping C.S. gas fired by British soldiers, Londonderry, Northern Ireland.”
With this piece, the dancers are attempting to deal with the collapse of society and structure as we have known them, and the ensuing suspicion, isolation and collective intention to dare to take the leap of faith, ultimately to rebuild relationships.
Edgefield Dance company is a group of trained dancers living and working in Suffolk under the artistic direction of Deborah Watkins Jones.
Debbie Draws on an interest in spaces, places and relationships as the inspiration for her choreography. She looks within her work at how they affect us and our movements, then how we can in turn effect change on them.
