The inspiration for creating TaskForce was to have the means to enter into a creative dialogue with a chosen area/community. TaskForce creates site-specific performances for several sites within a short period of time that actively engage a variety of artists and organizations derived from communities where the company performs. TaskForce aims to renew people’s perspective on their environment and enter into conversations about the creative process and public life.

The theme of water as a unifying thread came about through several conversations. Water has been an all important, pivotal element in the history and development of our major cities. As a precious resource, it has become increasingly important to recognize our use of water and how it shapes our lives and communities. The work created for the sites in the UK, at Dartington and throughout the city of Plymouth, are an amalgam of both site-specific choreography, site-adaptive movement material and structured improvisations all in response to the given site. The concept of Task Force is that it responds to several sites in relatively short amount of time, concentrates on process and finds as many connections among sites as possible.
