In residency from Aug 9 to 12 2012.

Three of the five members of the Bob Collective will present an accumulation of research, a “teaser” for the future show.

Here is the simple story of a life; possibly anyone’s life; Bob’s life.
Each of the members of the Collective portrays and embodies Bob. Facets and glimpses of Bob’s persona and his story emerge with their depictions of him through their respective artistic disciplines.

The stages of his life are abstracted and created in the surreal space within and between dance, animation, physical theatre, and live music. The use of non-traditional narrative techniques blurs the lines between artistic mediums, performer identity and time.

It is through the humble everyday and pivotal moments of wonder, that the audience begins to see their own stories reflected in his.
