Body First is a new, ongoing sculpture, workshop series and improvised movement score rooted in the idea of The Body Is The First Home.

Megan received a Creative Summer Residency from Dance City to explore the initial ideas around this work. She worked with 5 dancers local to the North East to begin shaping this idea. Entering the studio, she carried the perspective of a mother, her body as a literal and metaphorical home for her child. Yet she was struck by how this concept resonated far beyond parenthood.

They discovered Home is not a fixed point, but a shifting presence within each of us. It manifested in the soles of their feet, in their beating heart, in their hips, their head - a nomadic sense of belonging within the body.
