Stillness
Thesis and accompanying performance entitled Performing Stillness: an exploration into the overlooked. Changing the emphasis from moving to stillness and dissecting ways in which a dancer can be still in performance.
Some of this is shared in I will embrace stillness in performance an article included in the online version of issue 3 zine Still Life.
‘The closer you get to stillness the more energy it takes. Real passivity is somewhere between quite still and moving a bit.’
Bettering
A solo physical exploration of my ambition to be a ‘better’ human, through zooming in on character traits I wish I had, and navigating these extremes. Beginning with an attempt to be more open; this dance explores my desires to be more this and more that.
In progress
Collaboration with Theo Arran
