This new piece is authored by Edward Wadsworth and Cyrff Ystwyth. Wadsworth is disabled. Brighton Beach was conceived through an autobiographical approach, along with the other company members who interpreted and developed his initial thoughts. The work combined past and present experience through elusive physicality. This was a personal journey that resonated beyond Wadsworth and his specific experiences. His work offers glimpses into a story of growing up, and the present day adult who asks ‘Why doesn’t society see you for what you are?’, and states that ‘I feel like a ‘normal’ person, but some people in our society make me feel more disabled than I actually am.’ Brighton Beach placed all the performers as both representatives of that society that Wadsworth interrogates, and as people who move with difference and disability through society, experiencing a sense of ‘standing alone’.
