This residency suports Mark and Rémy’s development of their project Stepping in…Spilling out.

Adapting and devloping the work originally made as a performance lecture into a performance which will be premiered as part of the Made in Scotland Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme 2025.

Stepping in… Spilling out: across your parent’s carpet, stepping into the cypher, stepping in solidarity, stepping with strangers in the club.

Collaboration with French percussionist Rémy Gouffault, this work takes a walk along the personal history of Mark’s dance practice through the foundational act of stepping; the different people, communities, histories and politics that collide with Mark’s body through these movements. Beginning with on an oversized drawing of his family home carpet, using movement, conversations, participation and music, Mark and Rémy guide you through layers of landscapes stepping through; parties, protests, rituals, mosh pits and gas clouds.

Sharing

Care considerations: some swearing, audience participation will be invited.
