{extravote 4} Marc Brew is a leading choreographer and director, with his works performed around the world and he is also the Guest Artistic Director of AXIS Dance Company (Oakland, California) and the Associate Artistic Director of Ballet Cymru. While he creates work for both integrated and non-integrated dance companies, in For Now, I Am... he revisits the terrible accident which paralysed and nearly killed him at the start of his career as a ballet dancer in South Africa.

The stage is covered with an enormous square white kabuki silk, which is partly to recreate the clinical setting of the hospital he woke up in, and also to create a platform for the installations by VJ Jamie Wardop which present visuals of shifting moods, while the cloth develops a further role in the piece as Marc's range of movement develops, both accompanying and restricting him as it becomes twisted around his body.

In For Now, I Am..., Marc relives and recreates the earliest days of his recovery, with the effort of even basic movement. He starts with small motions, which are hypnotic and mesmerising to watch as he builds up his strength and range of movement, leading to him struggling to move his legs and come to terms with the loss of their use.

For Now, I Am... is a tragic show, at times difficult to watch and so compelling, as Marc shares his pain and frustration with what his life has become. An absorbing, beautiful work.
