Finding energy.
Unearthing different states of being.
Realising the present moment.
A duet exploring serenity and connectivity within the mind and body in a world that never stops.
​
'It is very close to the ocean roar that occurs in the inner ear when a yawn is stifled. The roar that feels like thousands of fluttering wings radiating from the centre of the body' (Deborah Hay).
In a world that never stops, where self-reflection, quiet and mindfulness have become paramount, this duet physicalises how the inner turning of energy, combined with the awareness that arises through mindfulness practices, is centring and powerful.
A duet exploring serenity and connectivity within the mind and body. Finding energy. Unearthing different states of being. Realising the present moment.

Can perfectionism be used as a resource to form a choreographic methodology that enhances creativity?
​
This work looks at using principles from existing models that promote positive outcomes (such as mindfulness) as scaffolding to embrace perfectionistic tendencies. The emergence of choreographic concepts have come from a place of acknowledgment, acceptance and discovery in movement explorations. Having been given freedom in performative choices both performers experience the work as if for the first time. Perfectionism is no longer acting as a debilitative feature but a motivationally enabling resource.
