"I am fascinated by Gil Cortés’ process of transforming memory into choreography, finding the emotion in motion and fusing the two in their shared meaning. This is what she does so well" Nicholas Minns about Here Body in Writing About Dance, 20th January 2016 Full review here

ARTIST STATEMENT

The starting point of my creations is often the need to understand the conflicting ways in which we relate to each other, ourselves and our circumstances.
​I use dance as a medium to connect, shake, disturb and show our inner conflicts.

With a sense of playfulness, the surreal and  absurd  in my pieces coexist with a poetic, distorted beauty. ​
Art is communication, and therefore the audience is vital to breathe life and meaning to the work.  It is only through recognising our shared experiences of humanity that we can have empathy. And it is only through empathy that we can make the world a better place.  
                                                                        Neus Gil Cortés

HIGHLIGHTS 2020

March 2020 New research 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. The synergy of all involved was truly stunning and we can't wait to get back into the studio to develop it further. Watch trailer

June 2020 New commission Neus was commissioned to create two films for National Centre for Circus Arts. Watch trailer

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. We were joined by Shelley Eva Haden instead of Chiara Corbetta this time. We Live Streamed the piece at the end and we got a special feature at the NYE celebration of Deaf Lens Media. Find out more
