a western

working with composer Joel harries, we will begin explorations into the idea of keeping the outside outside. These explorations will have a dual focus. First is the concept of physical separation and literal boundary-making; we will ask what elements make a cohesive inside, against which the outside batters. This brings us to the second focus: the more metaphysical aspects of inside and outside. It will unpick the complex themes of belonging, and aspects of opposition that come from dividing inside from outside, or us from them. We will use this focus to explore the necessity of an inside, exclusive, excluding mental space to form an identity which we may recognise ourselves, and can be recognised by others. This story will look at how a group of people shelter themselves from outside forces, and in doing so, we will delineate a fundamental human urge - to create a place of safety for the body and the mind to rest, and to protect that place from the outside, no matter what.

A British dance artist, James Finnemore has extensive international experience working with Hofesh Shechter Company (Uprising/In Your Rooms, Political Mother, Survivor), Olivier Dubois (Tragédie), Gary Clarke Company, Carte Blanche and, most recently, as performing Rehearsal Director in Punchdrunk’s productions of Sleep No More and The Burnt City. He has also taught in various dance institutions and companies, delivering workshops and re-staging Hofesh Shechter's repertoire. Alongside his performing career, James is developing his own choreography, including the presentation of his own full-length piece, TERRA, through his associateship at The Point, and as part of The Place’s Hot House project.
