Remnants 

Remnants explores the traces of creativity that remain beneath years of expectation, training, and convention. The work questions how age and formal dance education can gradually shape, contain, and redefine our instinct to create. Balancing playfulness with restraint, Remnants invites audiences to reflect on what is lost, what endures, and what can be rediscovered by reconnecting with our innate creative freedom.

Where Movement Can Lead 

This performance explores embodied movement and the creative process behind choreography, revealing how movement is developed, refined and transmitted from one dancer to another. The audience is invited into the choreographers thinking, witnessing the evolution of idea from initial exploration to performance. Rather than just presenting finished work, the show guides audies through key stages of creation, offering an insight into collaboration, memory and interpretation before culminating in the final choreographic piece. 

Viewer discretion Some music contains swearing

To be Seen
When attention becomes currency. To Be Seen uses the scarcity of attention in current society as a central metaphor, integrating economic concepts to explore the jungle law governing individuals in competitive environments—from inner desires to strategic rivalry.
Viewer discretion The work contains strobe lights lasting approximately 15 seconds. Viewers sensitive to strobing effects are advised to proceed with caution.
Audience experience Theatre seating.
