I am Struan Leslie the Director of Song of Songs – a staging of the 22nd book of the old testament The Song of Solomon.
This blog will be a bit like a journal of the production and the processes and collecting of bits and pieces. We are essentially devising a new piece of movement based theatre for The Swan here in Stratford upon Avon. – (though it would be nice if it had a life beyond it's three shows).
The movement ideas will all come from the text – the sensations more than literal explanations. The cast will be actors and not dancers though my work is very much about blurring those boundaries. The cast will be 4 women and 3 men.

Last summer I visited the 2011 incarnation of the Serpentine Gallery's Pavilion. This is an annual commission for an architect or artist to create a temporary structure for the summer.

On the last weekend of November I made a much overdue trip to Berlin. I had not been for three years – since directing and choreographing Guys and Dolls in Germany in 2008 – that's another story!
