She remembers the feeling inside her lungs when they start bursting for air. She remembers twirling her fingers through the water as she pushes up towards the surface. Inspired by ancient keening rituals, Move is about migration, loss and communal healing. Weaving storytelling, choral soundscape and Gaelic song, five women portray the ebb and flow of people across the globe throughout the ages. Move is the inaugural show from Disaster Plan a new company from the team behind Blow Off, Beats and Heads Up. This edition was published to coincide with the premiere, originally staged in an open-air performance at Edinburghs Silverknowes Beach as well as being filmed for streaming.

Reviews

One of the most exciting forces in Scottish theatre * Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman *
a production at once rooted and outward looking, unsentimental and sincere, with a sound, if not to die for, then at the very least to be reborn to. * Mark Fisher, The Guardian *
