This new piece is authored by Adrian Jones and Cyrff Ystwyth. Jones is a learning disabled person. ‘Work’ was a non-textual narrative based on Jones’ memories and his rural farming environment in Ceredigion. Rooted in sharp observation the physicality presents a highly specified expression by a learning disabled dance author that offers further development in our understanding of the issues at the heart of the research enquiry. The potential for such new performance to open previously uncharted artistic territory is developed and the project is a catalyst for audiences and performers to critique how we place ourselves in particular cultural fields through engagement with disabled and untrained performers, and in engagement with specific life-world experience, in this case rural and Welsh speaking culture.
