WHAT'S NEW
CURRENT PROJECT
They Fell to Earth: A Flight Log
A brand new project with performers Zov Vélez and Xavier De Santos, the performance aims to explore the archetypal ‘Everyman’ without gender specification. The project explores 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 performance interrogates haunted inheritance and the desire to escape one's story, and is anchored in the myth of Icarus, son of the inventor Daedalus. Icarus must escape his spectral inheritance through his own invention. In this performance, I want Daedelus to represent the repressive, dominant patriarchal hegemony Western culture inhabits. The figures of Icarus transition between the human and non-human; birds. The Icarus duo grapple with their past, the traps of hubris, and their fall as a metaphor for the failures of the symbolic father and spectral patriarchy. The performance will use a highly physical language, ranging from comedic slapstick to the poetic and surrealistic.

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".
