Pedal Pusher :: Inspirations
May 11th, 2009 by Roland Smith
The initial conception for Pedal Pusher came from my interest in depicting a sport, a race on stage. In a sense, the drama of the days racing, the exhaustion, the passion, the tragedy is extremely theatrical - almost melodramatic.
Where the interest lies is the physicality - the simplicity of the body in space.
Breathtaking.
Here is a slideshow of photographs I took whilst watching the Tour de France on Alpe d'Huez a couple of years back. These may be of interest to anyone coming to audition at the weekend.
(and watch out for a cameo from theatredelicatessen artistic director, Jessica Brewster!)
You… Me… and the space

Over the next few months I am going to be writing about the new theatredelicatessen production Pedal Pusher.
It is mainly an experiment, to record the process and share it with people who may be interested in the behind the scenes. It will also be a chance to read about how the theatredelicatessen process works, should they want to collaborate with us in the future. Partly it is simply to publicise our work.
If there is anything you would like to know, drop me a line.
