CROW

Physical Theatre Solo
15 Minutes
Language: English

A century has passed since the first world war brought explosions on all fronts: literal ones on the battlefields of Europe and figurative ones in the field of art.  100 years after trench warfare, Duchamp's Fountain, Tzara's Dada Manifesto . . . have we gotten anywhere or just come full circle?
The machined slaughter of hundreds of thousands - 1918 or 2018?

Crow swoops in in a final attempt to charm/seduce/persuade/threaten humanity to come to its senses – the natural, physical kind, not the detached, rational kind.  But as powerful and clever as she is, nothing Crow has up her sleeve can stop the neverending "insane spectacle of collective homicide" to which she has played witness for hundreds of years.  A failed messenger, a condemned Cassandra, she must carry the weight of her vision alone in grief.  A solitary black feather remains as a symbol of her dashed hopes for revolution.

Press for CROW

" Die Krähe (Lucy Flournoy) ist atemberaubend, ein Paradies(vogel) für Fans des Physical Theatre –
und wer das bis dahin noch nicht war, ist es jetzt, garantiert."

" CROW (Lucy Flournoy) is breathtaking, a (bird of) paradise for physical theatre fans –
and if you weren't one before, you're guaranteed to be one now."

Physical Theatre / Dance Solo
15 Minutes
Language: none

Put everything in.
Close it, seal it, bury it. Or blast it.
Remember it. Leave it behind. Send it off.
What is left as you float rootless, weightless, alone, free?

A poetic exploration of the in-between.  A moving look at the moment between past and future.  Can you sum up life on earth – all of it or just one?  Are we only the memories we have, or something more?

Swingende Notwendigkeit

Background Singers & Dancers: Lucy Flournoy & Anita Hopt

Der preisgekrönte Klavierkabarettist Bodo Wartke und The Capital Dance Orchestra unter der Leitung des Geigers David Canisius bringen jeden Konzertsaal zum Beben.

The Cool Cats
THE COOL CATS mischen Songs der 20er Jahre bis heute wild durcheinander und verpasst diesen eine neue, reizvolle Note.

Doch nicht nur Klassiker befinden sich in ihrem Repertoire. Auch Hits von Rhianna oder Meghan Trainor verleihen sie ihre eigene Interpretation. Dabei ist es die Kombi aus dreistimmigen Gesangdarbietungen, Tanzeinlagen sowie dem Feinsinn für hemdsärmeligen Humor, die die Katzen zu einem musikalischen und auch optischen Highlight machen.
Eigensinnig, authentisch und extravagant nehmen THE COOL CATS die Gäste mit, auf eine besondere Zeitreise.

Vintage Swing Dance
Lucy has 10 years of experience dancing vintage dances from the 1920's to the 1950's (including Lindy Hop, Partnered Charleston, Solo Charleston, Solo Authentic Jazz, Collegiate Shag, Balboa, Burlesque and Blues).

Her passion for the music and dances of the swing era pervade much of her work on stage – from swing dance showcases to moderating dance events to the more subtle incorporation in her devised physical theatre work.

Physical Theatre Études

Animal work, element work, mask technique, and mime technique are all part of the basic training during the first two years of study in the Folkwang Physical Theatre Department.

In this short sequence Lucy depicts the movements, agility, rhythms and perceived temperament of a red squirrel.
