The behaviour extracted from everyday living and restored in the choreography of Pina Bausch is minute and particular. A gesture as slight as the twitch of a fingertip becomes a brittle motif available to repeat schematically yet barely stylized if […]

After the assessment and the Pecha Kucha presentations that a number of us did recently I have been reflecting on where my practice is and what form my MA show could take. Up until now, my interests, at least within […]
