AMICI Breaking Out

'Amici affirms life, creativity and the power of compassion'
Clement Crisp (Financial Times)

'Breaking Out' A collaboration between AMICI's Bill Robins and Colm Gallagher		'Breaking Out' Breaking Out is an exploration of barriers to fulfilment, but.... We all have barriers to fulfilment what if you have a grievous disability...? No one understands you...All that is seen is the chair you sit in... Or worse still you are ignored...
Bill Robins Bill joined AMICI in 1992. In 1993 he was the inspiration behind The Journey for the company. This production toured to Poland where AMICI won the Vaslav Nijinsky award. Other productions include 'Ruckblick', 'The Of Ark' (with Random Dance) 'Pieces 2', 'Hilde' and '20/20'. Bill is currently living in his own flat and a student of Choreography at the University of Surrey (Roehampton). Bill is responsible for development modification work on the Simpson Board (a choreographic tool for disabled people) with Jonathan Thrift and Adam Benjamin. This is Bill's first choreography for AMICI. The poem written by him as inspiration for The Journey has relevance to this current work: I am lonely, My body prison Door closed Hear them Talk over my head Like vegetable They afraid To see me out with mum Watch them.
