WHAT'S NEW
CURRENT PROJECT
They Fell to Earth (A Flight Log)
We are back in the studio working on a brand new project, with performers Zov Vélez and Xavier De Santos. The performance explores the archetype of the ‘Inventor' without gender specification. The process is anchored by three points: 1) A DIY aesthetic, with the stage becoming a garage/den, a liminal threshold space where ideas are hatched and tinkered with; a symbol of transitional readiness. The performers build their world from the ground up.2) The myth of Icarus, as it frames an exploration of the spectral presence of inheritance - the past failures of invention. 3) Images of the work of Robert and Shane Parker-Harrison, which inspire poetic imagery, with a dreamlike, illusory nature of flight and invention. The performers are driven by their pursuit of the impossible task of flying, testing the limits of trust/betrayal, tenderness/violence, and creativity/destruction.
Their endless invention holds a tension between the desire to fly and the disastrous consequences of failure to take responsibility.
The highly physical language ranges from comedic slapstick to the poetic and surrealistic, weaving objects, texts, and vocal loops in an unfolding illusory world.

TALKS
Imagining Beyond: The Eeriness of Place
Join me for an atmospheric and thought-provoking talk that dives deep into the uncanny power of derelict mansions, eerie rural landscapes, and downtrodden towns.
With the current resurgence of the “English Eerie” and “Folk Horror” gaining momentum and the eerie creeping ever closer into the mainstream, there’s no better moment to explore our relationship with unsettling landscapes, abandoned and derelict sites, and places where the past haunts as a spectral presence. The eerie fascinates, it does not reveal its source, but lingers as a feeling that arises when ‘things are not what they seem’, disturbing our sense of reality and opening us to the mysterious and inexplicable.
This one-of-a-kind evening draws on the work of M R James, David Lynch, PJ Harvey, among others, and thinkers such as Mark Fisher and Robert Macfarlane. Alongside personal stories and performance footage, I explore the Eerie through devising methods and processes of making performance, and consider how my practice intervenes with the English Eerie and folk horror.
"I really enjoyed hearing about the inspiration behind the work of Dust Ensemble, presented in such an engaging manner. The talk has also refined my perception somehow. I’m now more open to the unexplained, the strangeness of certain places, situations and sounds, and I like the way this newfound awareness sparks my imagination".
