Three Act Improvisation Bethany and Tess Letham (collaborating performer) will be working together to begin developing the structure of an improvised performance in three acts; two solos and a duet. Inspired by theatre and comedy improvisation they will be playing with using prompts and input from the audience as springboards for performance. Though working with solely improvised content they will be searching for a specific compositional approach. A shared practice of strategies and concepts built together to form a foundation from which the unexpected can grow. The material Tess and Bethany will be working with involves combinations of voice and movement; improvised text and sound alongside dance and physicality. They are both interested in the theatricality and storytelling potential of movement and the nuance offered by words and imagery. The overarching question they will be addressing is what are the parameters for 'success' in this form of improvised performance? Bethany is a dance artist working across improvisation, performance, teaching, devising and creative facilitation. She is a founding member of bad body chaos code, a pop-punk band working collectively to produce euphoric, surreal performances. In 2022 they took their debut album ‘Headliner’ – a comedic riot grrrl witchy extravaganza – on a European tour. As a performer Bethany has created new works with choreographers including Becky Namgauds, Tim Casson, Tess Letham and Hannes Langolf. Touring across the UK and Europe in contexts as diverse as pubs, galleries, stately homes, theatres and high streets. Bethany regularly performs improvisation solo, in duets and ensemble. She has performed with Collective Endeavours and Something Smashing across the UK. And performed solo at Roadhouse in Leeds and at TicTac Art Centre in Brussels. She also works extensively in inclusive dance, currently as Artist Development Lead for Anjali, a dance company for artists with learning disabilities. Within and beyond the dance world Bethany is interested in bodies as storytellers, working non-hierarchically and seeking out experiences of collective joy. Tess is an award winning performer and prominent dance-theatre maker based in Edinburgh. Her work spans theatre, film, outdoor and large-scale spectacle and has included performance projects by Shotput, Simon Fildes/Cagoule, David Zambrano, PanicLab, and Mairead McClean/The Wapping Project, as well as her own productions. Her own creations have included “How to Survive the Future”, and mid-scale work, “Remedy for Memory”. Her latest projects are being developed under FairPlay, which include “Where We Used to Wander” and currently in development, “What ever happened to Harmony Banks?”. Improvisation is at the core of her performance practice, in 2019 she participated in 60 Days of Improvisation for Performance with internationally renowned teacher David Zambrano, supported by Creative Scotland, In 2021, she was awarded the #LoveDanceScotland bursary for her project “Six for Six”, supported by Dance Base and Tramway. Her teaching methodologies have been significantly influenced by her extensive training with David Zambrano, including Flying Low, Passing Through, Improvisation and more recently Couple Dancing, sharing this work across the UK and beyond. Alongside this her curatorial work and leadership has been instrumental to the development of award winning Hidden Door festival. Supported through Dance Base’s Paid Artist Residency Programme

Glass Square is in the center of Edinburgh&#39;s Old Town. This old town is also worth visiting. The area of the square is not large. The tour here is also guided. You can also see some Scottish city architecture styles. [View] The scenery is very good [Cost-effective] Free tour

Edinburgh Castle is an absolute must-see! The history embedded in every stone of this iconic fortress is incredible. From the crown jewels to the breathtaking panoramic views of the city, there&#39;s something captivating around every corner. I particularly enjoyed the guided tour, which brought the rich history of the Scottish monarchs to life. Be prepared for a bit of walking uphill, but the experience is well worth it. #EdinburghCastle

The view is good and the interior is not allowed to take pictures. The ticket is accompanied by a Chinese explanation, and the explanation is also very interesting, mainly used by the Scottish royal family between King David in Scotland in the 12th century and James VI in the 17th century, and the room where Mary and her husband Darnley were assassinated in Scotland.

It is a must-visit place in Edinburgh. On the hill, there are lots of good spots to get a good view of the city. Old Town, New Town, Arthur&#39;s Seat, and the sea are all visible there.

The Old Town of Edinburgh will undoubtedly be your first point of call when visiting the city. This is the oldest area of Edinburgh, where the city was first built, and remains the heart of Edinburgh - it was even declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995.
