HIGHLIGHTS 2020
March and December 2020 New research In February we had a fantastic time with our R&D on NOISE at Rich Mix and Studio Wayne McGregor. As well as usual dancers Chiara Corbetta and Tommaso Petrolo, we collaborated for the first time with Deaf dancer Chris Fonseca, who brought an invaluable perspective on experiencing sound and vibration to our process. Sound designer Mike Winship was with us in the studio too, devising and proposing ideas in the room. Watch trailer
We gathered again in December to test more ideas and incorporate sound reactive visuals to the piece. We were supported by Ugly Duck and Centre 151 this time and dancer Shelley Eva Haden joined us instead of Chiara. Watch full sharing
The synergy of all involved was truly stunning and we can't wait to get back into the studio to develop it further.

December 2020 Research to the next level We had the amazing opportunity to have one more search for NOISE, incorporating Augmented Reality and Sound Reactive visuals into the piece.
