Playbook

Playbook Is a playful and dynamic outdoor space activation project.

Immersive spectacle?
Human light sculpture?
Responsive acrobatic performance art?

People are moving. Quickly and slowly. Safely and dangerously. With joy,
desperation and necessity. Proceeding. Progressing. Processing.
Playbook is a new promenade piece of acrobatic physical theatre by Gravity & Other Myths.

Playbook activates outdoor settings by combining Gravity & Other Myths
renowned acrobatic languages with long-form, journey-like passages of
powerful physicality. It is about moving through life and the people who are
moving with you.

A group of eight people move with purpose across a festival site with
complete unity, immersing the public in their journey as they go. They carry
powerful, portable lighting equipment that frames, highlights and amplifies
their connection to each other and the seemingly impossible physical
interactions that take place.

Emanating from their portable sound equipment is an electronic score, built
from a dynamic mixture of both delicate and driving fragments help to
punctuate and shift between the intimate and the spectacular.
