What would your bedroom walls or even your shoes say if they could suddenly talk?

What is the difference between living and non-living things? So
, for 
example,
 between
 you,
the
 pavement
 and
 the
 pictures
 in
 your 
books? It
 may 
seem
 obvious
 but some cultures believe that all things in the world are alive and have a mind of their own. In this workshop performance we want to test that idea out. So 
where
 shall 
we 
start? This is where our ghost comes in to help. How
 shall 
I 
describe 
our
 ghost?

Well, our ghost is not any ordinary ghost, it is a dancing ghost. It has no home and no body so it wanders around from place to place, thing to thing, person to person, looking for a place to stay for a while. It is so light it can move around in space very fast and jump into things at any moment, making them come alive, move and talk in funny and strange ways. Where will our ghost land next? This is where our performance begins…
