Speak but one word to me was created specifically by Lizzi Kew Ross for the William Morris exhibition at Two Temple Place and featured an original composition by Ruth Elder.

William Morris wanted to design a pattern ‘which reminds us of life itself and which has the impress of human imagination strong on it’. Taking this idea of patterning and using music, touch and extracts from Morris’ poem Summer Dawn, Speak but one word to me sought to engage with the themes of the Morris exhibition and the glorious Pearson architecture of Two Temple Place in an exciting and relevant way.  Dance United works with young people who are often disengaged and at a 

tipping point. At the heart of our ambition is an unshakeable belief that every life should have meaning and purpose. This has driven us to work long and hard to model a powerful adaptation of contemporary dance training so that non-dancers can achieve immediate and tangible outcomes.
