Reading Movement is an extended solo treatment of John Hall's "Reading (il)legible Pages" ("On the Page", Performance Research: Vol. 9; No.2, June 2004) by Camilla Nelson. This 25 minute performance physically and sonically disrupts, extends and transforms the act of reading. The reading body is so often stilled and silenced. This work offers the body a chance to move, to be seen and heard, to be liberated from the social restriction of normalised reading behaviours. This solo has grown out of an intense period of collaboration with the Palestinian dancer, Khaled Barghouthi (2015-2016), mentoring from Maja Jantar, Katrina Brown & Suzanne Scott (2016-2017) and a series of specialist sound & movement language workshops (The World is Sound, 15 days exploring voice in relation to movement, March 2017; a 6 day workshop with physical theatre group OBRA & poet Lucy Burnett, June 2018). The draft script of “Reading Movement” was long-listed for The Leslie Scalapino Award for Innovative Women Performance Writers in 2016. Following a residency at Op-Weule in Belgium, organised by the ever generous Philip Meersman, Reading Movement had its first airing as a solo work-in-progress at the Bath Fringe Festival before the final piece premiered at Brussels International Poetry Festival to enthusiastic acclaim.
