We are currently developing a new collaborative work which  is inspired by glaciers - their struggle for existence and the inevitable collapse. Attempts at care and support provide a counterforce, albeit delicate, against eventual destruction. Rooted in our shared interests in movement, visual art and ecological sensitivity, this project unfolds as an embodied investigation of holding and breaking, of subtle shifts and sudden ruptures.

​

Our starting point is an image, a vast, slowly shifting body, marked by pressure, by time, by collapse and care. Without naming it, this form becomes a metaphor: for endurance, for transformation, for the weight of history and the tenderness of connection. We see echoes of ourselves in it, in how we lean into and pull away from one another, in how we support, resist, falter, and adapt. Our collaboration becomes a space for listening across time, where contrasting relationships to the future, to loss and to repair coexist and actively shape the choreography.

​

Through dance and a process-based studio practice, we are crafting a tactile, interdisciplinary landscape. We work with materials like paper, plaster, casts, paint, and fabric, things that can melt, break, stain, hold. These substances allow us to register traces of touch, tension, and pressure: the residue of interaction. They are witnesses to the mess of becoming.

​

We are interested in not-knowing, in staying with uncertainty as an artistic strategy. Our rehearsals are filled with questions rather than answers. How do we remain porous, responsive, and open to change? How do we make space for collapse without rushing to rebuild?

​​

Our intergenerational collaboration is central to this, a practice of listening across time, difference, and lived experience. We honour our different ways of making and knowing, allowing them to rub up against one another, to generate new textures and unexpected forms.​
