ABOUT US
Our work is motivated by interests to engage with important social and ecological questions and to find ways to express those enquiries through intimate live encounters with audiences.
We often make performances for unusual spaces in order to open new forms of conversation, and change how and where performances happen. Through each artistic project we strive to build community by inviting people to re-encounter their bodies and their environments through action and participation.
We are led by Artistic Director, Charlotte Spencer and supported by project specific teams of brilliant collaborators. We care deeply about the artists we work with, our partners, funders, and audiences and enjoy building lasting relationships, often over many years.
We are perhaps best known for our performances through headphones: Is this a Waste Land? (2017) made for vast disused urban spaces; and Walking Stories (2013) a group audio walk for parks.
Our work has been presented nationally and internationally with a wide variety of partners, in lots of different kinds of spaces including Dance Umbrella (2015 & 2017), Brighton International Festival, Greenwich Dance, Tramway - Dance International Glasgow, , Siobhan Davies Dance, Coastal Currents - Hastings, Turner Contemporary - Margate, Jerwood Gallery - Hastings, Salisbury International Festival, Festival DDD - Portugal, Deep Roots Tall Trees - Corby, Big Green Week Bristol, Festival Plages Des Danse - France.
Following a decade of creating performances outdoors, in 2022 we created Written in the Body - a duet for theatre spaces which was commissioned by Brighton Festival and Sadler’s Wells. We are currently working on a book publication and an exhibition work for galleries - we are all memory bodies.
