The creation of my current works, Come and Gone and In the light of autumn, is in full flow.
These site-specific projects combine contemporary dance, film and visual art.
Both works are very much inspired by their location – an abandoned multi-storey, listed building that was last a retirement home.
Come and Gone reflects on the the cycle of life, the history of the building and the ephemerality of memories. The work features an intergenerational group of performers and local participants in poignant play with one another and what they find on site, integrating architectural features, abandoned environments and materials.
In the light of autumn is an audiovisual work linked to Come and Gone as it features the same building. Yet it presents the building from another angle as it focuses on the change of natural light that floods its rooms and captures those inside between September and December.
