With a shared interest in the research of the actor’s craft, theatre arts, music, and song, the international collaborators of Sourcing Within, under the direction of Ang Gey Pin, often come together through intensive and sustained working sessions and theatrical presentations. They explore selected themes of inquiry, investigate their differences, draw from their respective cultural and traditional backgrounds, and enter into dialogue with inspiring works across theatre, film, and dance, ultimately devising and creating new performance work.
Wandering.Birds is one such collaboration led and directed by Ang. The collaborators include performers Marian Araujo (Spain/Ireland), Riccardo Brunetti (Italy), Sonia Pastrovicchio (Italy), and musician Nickolai D. Nickolov (Bulgaria/Italy). The work premiered at Teatro Akropolis in Genoa, Italy, in March 2011.
