BODY CHAPTERS
is the latest collaboration between renowned actor/director/writer Michael Corbidge and The Substation’s associate artist Jayanthi Siva, celebrating their 10th year anniversary of bringing Poetry from Page to Stage.
BODY CHAPTERS presents the concept of FLESH as MEAT versus BODY/MIND union, through well-rounded and deeply truthful insights into the psychology of modern relationships. Michael’s latest poems are woven together into a colourful vision with powerful dance, live music and cutting edge theatre.
Through Indian Contemporary Dance forms, Movement theatre, Music, Drama and Voice, the interpretation of these poems celebrates the individual, cultural and artistic differences present in modern society.
