.to inhale and exhale air for the purpose of maintaining life; breathe.

Times are challenging. They are also uncertain, frustrating and at times boring. Individually we may not know what each other may be going through, but from one corner of the globe to another we are all affected in varying degrees.

Pressure can be felt and measured in a number of ways, be it financial or emotional, or from the micro to the global. What matters now?, what has shifted, and what will come to be?
All questions none of us yet have the answer to, but this unknowingness we also share.
When pushed into new circumstances we can’t help but find a way. It may not always be productive, not always beautiful, yet it it should still be acknowledged and even celebrated.
Embrace the in between.

Keep your distance,
but come together

with Rubén Albelda Giner
Music: Sergei Rachmaninoff

Drawing inspiration from Bach’s Goldberg variations, ∞ reflects upon the purity of existence, and the cyclical, yet contradictory way in which life and death lead to, and become one another.

Please contact us if you are interested in viewing this short dance film.

After sitting by the Baltic Sea, watching the still serene water and listening to the tranquility of the silence, choreographer Nathan Cornwell asked himself the question, in absence of motion are we truly still? As humans we respire, we dream, our muscles function when we are asleep, so is stillness a true physical state or more of a mental one? Is it the suspension of a first kiss? The motionlessness of one’s surroundings? Or is the true meaning of stillness eternal rest?”

v o i d

Void is a short film that represents things which are not there. A lack of connection to the space, and those who are occupying it.
A flicker of recognition or a dream unable to be recalled. Unrealised potential or a wish that fails to materialise.
Emptiness.
The chasm left by a departed lover
Receding memories.
Absences.
All these things that leave a void

Have I ever spoken properly? - Figurative
