Devised: Winter 1988
Spring 1989
A Curious Day was Motionhouse's first major project, and was also Southern Arts Board's first dance and education project.
Kevin Finnan and Louise Richards devised and choreographed the piece, working in conjunction with two musicians, trombonist, Harry Dawes, and saxophonist, Simon Prince.
The work looked at a day's routine from a child's perspective, from the home to the playground to the exam room.
Based on the philosophy of taking performance into teaching, A Curious Day was also seen by people from The South Bank, leading to Motionhouse securing their first performances at The Purcell Rooms.
