Dancers of Stanton, and other paintings (2025)

During Summer 2025 I collaborated with visual artist/painter Collwyn on translating his outdoor paintings into a movement language on film.

This project developed alongside a time of re-aligning my focus on how to work more sustainably as a choreographer and movement performer. I devised scores which could respond to different fluctuations of my ‘inner’ world that included pain, as well being open to the unpredictability of the ‘outer’ world of natural phenomena.

Movement score excerpts:

Clevedon Marine Lake
Synchronising with the blue hour. The wind and the wilderness of the open water tumbled me through and through, I learnt about stillness as a very practical skill.

Stanton Drew
She is light in her lower body
Is purposeful as a human travelling on land
Forgot, and remembers
Frees

Leigh Woods
Flourishes of legs
Tail is my head
Organs think for my timing
Taking my time : thinking slowly
