Bonewords is a new multidisciplinary dance, theatre & spoken word performance, devised by award winning deaf dramaturg & writer Louise Stern & choreographer Wendy Houston.
“My native language is sign language. A physical language. Non-signers and I often end up writing back and forth. For years, many of these written exchanges have been tossed into boxes to stew in their own juices. Purely practical exchanges, unidentified snippets, random drunken nights with anonymous people never encountered again, and more.
Reading them again in notebooks, on scraps of paper or paper plates, away from the moment and the person, makes the conversations almost theatrical. These words were put down in specificity and also by us all; now existing in undefined time and space, away from life.”
