Performance as Publishing

— Rory Pilgrim

Wholeheartedly

First created and performed in 2011 by a group of teenagers from Haarlem, The Netherlands, Wholeheartedly was realised in a year that had severe consequences for young people, including mass education cuts, unemployment, political brutality, and riots in London. Inspired by the words of political activist Aung San Suu Kyi, the teenagers bring to life a sung and spoken chant:

Protect, survive
An absent voice, an absent voice
A beating heart, a beating heart
Wholeheartedly

For Rowing, Wholeheartedly has been recontexualised for the first time in the UK, exploring the hopes and concerns of a new group of teenagers. Interweaving their voices, thoughts and feelings and music, the group express their own personal and political concerns for the future.
