About the work

Last year I hired a cottage in the Peak District for a weekend where I sketched out some preparatory drawings for the posture and starting positions I wanted the dancers to start in for each scene of my upcoming performance. I ended up developing the work into the performance at GUSH from these drawings and the performance was shown at Somerset House in October 2018.
