Welcoming Female Fantasy

Created for the Young Assosiates of Sadler's Wells selection process (2019).

Performed again at Tate Modern as part of the Mass Hysteria's takeover of Tate Exchange (2020) - click here for more information.

​

I want to provide space for my dancers to explore their own fantasies – the agency is given back to the performers.

I celebrate female form, human empathy and ability to feel with and care for the environment.

​

Since the dance techniques were made part of our bodies through training, we reappropriate those traces and make them an integral part of our being and moving in the world.

​

Since the technological advancements are becoming an integral part of our natural environment, we search for ways of incorporating them fully into our dancing.

​

The garments used for this piece were made by Katharina Dubbick. Knitting, a technique for so long associated with women, reminds us to honor the crafts which we inherited from our mothers, which we will pass on to our daughters.
