Residency feedback:
‘Thank you to LEVEL! What an amazing time I’ve had. I needed a mic (I got a mic), a box (you get me a box), gold card (I am given some beautiful gold card!). Getting the bits you need when you need them makes doing the work such a joy and feeling the support of the team was SO GOOD.
So advice – Ask for what you need… Enjoy the space, the quiet and the noise… Dance if you get stuck… Drink tea!’
Following on from her residency, Imogen performed Dry Bits as a work in progress at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. The LEVEL team went along to see the performance which was incredibly well received.
