"You can do this..."
Been working with Katherine Hall in the last couple of weeks on her new piece called You Sit There. She studies care in her work and how the everyday caring is undervalued, gendered and often happens unnoticed by creating interesting dynamics with the audience. Has been great to be part of a work with such important theme that should be discussed more widely.

Another week spent in Dance4 in Nottingham with Callaghan and Kenyon Projects. A lot of things discovered, even more questions raised. This process is new to me in that we've decided to take the time required to get the piece ready. It feels right but at the same time scary, like a bottomless well. Funnily, our biggest scenic element, a golden dance mat is reflecting in exactly that way.
We know it's going to be golden. Just not sure when.

The summer is officially over; the temperature dropped overnight and it has been raining solidly for two days. Whilst saddening, it makes for the perfect conditions to return to the office work.
The production week is soon upon us so this week I'm preparing the lighting plot for Dinosaur, the dance duet about love by Janina Rajakangas Project. It is so good, true and funny depiction of the absurdity of love and relationships and I think everyone who's ever been to a relationship can relate to it. It is an interesting challenge to create the light of love.
We're premiering in end of October at The Place in Euston, London and the tickets are on sale now.
Rehearsals are in full swing for "Dinosaur", a contemporary dance piece about the oldest of topics: love. It is a duet by Janina Rajakangas for the amazing dancers Karolina Kraczkowska ja Robert Clarke. Super chuffed to be working with them and excited to premiere this in The Place on 31st October 2015!
We made a new music video for a track called Muscle Memory by London band Dems. I helped the amazing team with lighting of the shoot. Really honoured to get to work with these brilliant people.
