Auto Cannibal


When creating new dance works I’m conscious of the regurgitation of 

past choreographic ideas. I’m sometimes afraid that I’m repeating myself 

or cannibalising my own work. But the fact is that no idea - in art, technology 

or ideology - is born in a vacuum. We are all a product of our influences 

and experiences. Ideas are also part of a life cycle-they are born, they 

thrive, they degrade and deteriorate and become the fertiliser for the 

next batch of ideas. Our modern world is obsessed with newness and 

consumption but this work is an ode to re-using,re-purposing, re-invigorating. 

In Auto Cannibal we embrace the palimpsests of previous choreographies 

and see them grow and evolve through the bodies of these extraordinary

dancers, meeting from across the world.

Encircling Voyage


When we arrive to this world

We set off voyage which will be encircling

Promise that we will be back for sure

Back to the origin

Cries that are resonant and melodious

Vowing the weight of vita

Life, to return

Like a landscape that is incredibly attractive to us...
