Everything Forever
this performance project invites participants to step inside the world of my choreographic process as we develop a new work together. i prioritise creating an environment where collaborators are both challenged and supported, encouraging growth, risk-taking and the expansion of individual artistry as part of a collective body. my movement tasks and core concepts ask dancers to engage with their bodies by balancing precision with a rich sense of imagination. the work carries a charged quality, requiring heightened awareness and sensitivity from the performers. in this state, movement connects to life force, power and vulnerability.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
