To all you young fathers out there: A slightly bizarre request...

I've spent much of my time over the last few weeks thinking about images, narrative and movement ideas, and generally preparing for rehearsals for '2+1,' which start on the 7th April.  I've come to realize (unsurprisingly) that my vision is deeply one sided, and that there's a very serious danger that my portrayal of the first few months of a child's life will be seriously biased to the experience of the mother.      Hence I turn to you….

If any of you feel inclined to pen a few words,… to jot down some of the high, and lowlights of your experience, and send them to me, I would be deeply grateful.  It doesn't have to be a long essay, just whatever jumps to mind.  The piece looks at how your life changes in the first few months of your baby's life, and specifically at how this effects the relationship between the you and your partner.  Any tips, quips, memories or anecdotes would be welcome.

If you'd rather not post your ideas on the blog, just send me an email at contact@tarapilbrow.com.

THANK YOU!

2+1 First photoshoot

Here are a few photos from our first shoot for 2+1. Thank you to photographer Amir Giles. Vanessa Cook, the other of the two dancers in the piece is currently away, so I took her place.

Dancing for Mr Selfridge

For those of you that caught the first two episodes of the new Mr Selfridge season (ITV) you may have seen Amir and I dancing at the staff party in Delphines.  In week one it was a blink-and-you miss it appearance, but in week two, we were definitely present, although some say I was hardly recognizable.  Here are a few photos to help you identify me..
