From the Top
From the Top is a witty dance work that explores the power relations between performers and dance makers. The piece presents to the audience a fictional scenario based on the everyday life of dance artists and looks at the absurd nature of so-called artistic integrity and what it means to make art. Action on stage is juxtaposed with voiceovers and surtitles to reveal the politics between the ever-demanding choreographer and dancers who continuously attempt to fulfil a choreographer's artistic vision.

When I Grow Up
When I Grow Up is about getting to know others through stories of their past. It is about connecting with who they were to better understand who they are, celebrating where people came from in order to appreciate who they have become.
