sept papillons
Duet performance for movement and cello, based on Kaija Saariaho's piece 'Sept Papillons'. Through these miniatures of seven butterflies, Saariaho moved to a metaphor of the ephemeral.
Each part seem to be a studies on a different aspect of fragile and ephemeral movement that has no beginning or end.

's y m b i o s i s' delves into the exploration of care as a foundational element of human existence, driven
by the innate desire for connection and intimacy. Through an investigation of kinesthetic empathy, the
project researches how bodily impulses facilitate communication, storytelling, and shared experiences,
fostering a deeper awareness of empathy and embodied communication as pathways to authentic
connection. Within the framework of intimacy, the project follows two characters on a journey marked by
honesty, vulnerability, trust, and delicacy, discovering strength in unity.

The Furthest point
Jean Abreu
“I want to share this emptiness with you. Not fill the silence with false notes or put tracks through the void. I want to share this wilderness of failure. The others have built you a highway- fast lanes in both directions. I offer you a journey without direction, uncertainty and no sweet conclusion. When the light faded, I went in search of myself. There were many paths and many destinations” (Derek Jarman, 1990)
Fifteen bodies spill into space, negotiating and seeking solutions.
From nowhere to nowhere, how can they move forward with no directions?
What is left to hold on to?
JACKIE CHAN
Jos Baker
JACKIE CHAN explores our need for connection and delves into the absurdity of the little barriers we put up between us and others, or even within ourselves. Our self obsessions, insecurities and ridiculousness keep us apart. Could we take some of that less seriously?

An abrupt change of direction.
The creative process for this work was a series of swerves which brought meaning and connection to the overwhelming exchange of ideas and possibilities that we shared. We didn’t choose one direction, we chose all of them and Swerve is a testament to the dedication and determination of the 16 wonderful performers who have trusted, dared, and challenged me throughout the project. They are the true creators of this work.

Walls of sound
Thick&Tight
Walls of Sound is the penultimate track in Throbbing Gristle's second album, the sound which surrounds the majority of the work. As well as choreographing we undertook studies into 1970s Britain and the collapse of industry, the rise of industrial music, 14th Century Japanese Noh Theatre, the Fluxus art movement, queer theory, Japanese Horror, the work of artists ranging from Blake to Lowry and even got the students to go out onto the wild plains of Leeds to record the current and lost sounds of the city.
