‘What is going on when performers develop their skills through play and exploration? When what they have done in the past starts to break down and they find new solutions beginning to emerge? It looks ugly – but this is where learning happens. Playing and exploring with focus, effort and passion in the Ugly Zone!’ Marianne Davies
