We had a great time filming our crowd funding film for ‘Last Night I Met You Dreaming’. Check out some stills from the shoot below. Look out for the full film coming soon!

Exploring structural costume that can create extensions of the body that function like mask without restricting voice and movement.

Had a very interesting time exploring music and soundscape as part of the R and D. Now looking at ways to combine live instruments and foley with recorded sound synched to movement.

Here are some photos and from our summer R and D process for ‘Last night I met you dreaming’ at Pexmas Munch Festival. You can also listen to some of the beautiful sound design that was developed by Matt Scott our composer. Fit to Burst are grateful for the generous backing of Arts Council England in supporting this process. Based on the work created this summer we are now developing the full production which will open in 2015.

Fit to Burst is being developed with support from the School for Social Entrepreneurs and Royal Sun Alliance Insurance. We are really excited to be involved in the 2013 SSE Fellowship Start Up Programme.

Role: Lover, Businessman

Sex: Male

Skills: Strong actor, physical performer, object manipulation, experienced in devising

Plot:

In a mechanical city an ambitious journalist has forgotten how to feel. Writing about Latin America and disconnected from her subject, herself and from nature she begins to have visions. Under the surface her office is alive, a living breathing world hidden within her filing cabinets. One night they swallow her up, carrying her away into a dreamscape. Here she meets Eva the teller of tales who leads her on a journey of self-discovery and magic.

Inspired by Isabelle Allende’s novel ‘Eva Luna’, ‘Last night I met you dreaming’ combines physical theatre, live music and puppetry with narrative depth; weaving a tale of passion and connection.

Two weeks R and D in July for a performance to industry professionals in Aug at the Depot in London to secure funding for an autumn production.
