THESE HORSES
These Horses is a collaborative project begun in 2005 by Lucy Cran, Emma Bennett and Bill Leslie. In that time they have made a number of performances and events for galleries, theatres and other spaces.
This collaboration is based on a wish to make work which is immediate and affecting, which has a roughness and an unpredictable excitability. The work is always a coming together of ideas, disparate voices, materials and approaches.
Performance has offered a context in which to elaborate a process of exploration into cultural practices as diverse as popular dance, music and film, language structures and word play, enactment, self expression and collective action. By founding the work on a shifting and mutable collaborative relationship These Horses have moved across fields of performance, art, dance, theatre and writing, finding in these various contexts new impetus to explore ideas and their relationship to a changing audience.
