About the solo

Swirling wildly through the lines and squares of everyday domestic norms, i never did … is a dance-theatre solo which fragments the playful poetics of A.A Milne as a route to explore social codes of behaviour and what it really means to grow up.

Chalking her way back into her Grandmothers living room, Jessie creates a place where disobedient dances are tempered by lone waltzs, and where constructions of childhood and adulthood are ruptured; so we never really know who is making or breaking the rules.

i never did … is an energetic and touching solo that searches to recall a lost childhood through smudging the sub-text of Milne’s fiction with the performers own memories.

“Devised and performed by first-class Dartington alumni, Jessie Percival, i never did … showcases Jessie’s distinguished movement style, which is at once fearless and vulnerable; dynamic yet intimate.”
