Weathering | Featuring Josh Martin, Gisele Ardosa & Jennifer Clarke

Lighthouse | Josh Martin

A blurring of fast and slow, this new solo work in development exists in a tension between the dizzying sensation of forever 'spinning out' and a continual attempt to find and hold onto a centre. Through sustained rotation, the body enters a self-induced disorientation - a heightened sensorial state, seeking balance while resisting and riding its own centrifugal force. Lighthouse is a revolving meditation, shapeshifting through slow transformation while turning at speed, and transmitting outward from within its own unraveling. It is a beacon in the void, casting signals out into the distant dark: a call, a waypoint, and a warning for all who may approach.

All You Ever Do Is Rain | Gisele Ardosa

All You Ever Do Is Rain is a space to make friends with what did not happen. A lament for emotions steadily ground down by an indifferent universe. Contradictions of the heart carried in the hollows of the body.

The piece doesn't seem to want catharsis yet. Inhabiting the strange period where the mind goes but the body hasn't caught up. Love’s voltage of being. Carefully folded into each other with barely any wrinkles.

Again, again, again. The body shrinks in annihilation.

Lifelong | Jennifer Clarke

Lifelong is a lively excerpt from Jennifer Clarke's ongoing choreographic research exploring how we navigate instability, adaptation, and transformation.

This evolving work combines structured improvisation with live sound construction. Guided by a series of shared performance tasks, the dancers respond to one another in the moment, creating movement, voice, and found sounds in real time. Each performance unfolds through listening, curiosity, risk-taking, and collective decision-making.

Lifelong celebrates the unexpected. Sound is created live alongside the movement, becoming an equal creative partner that shapes the atmosphere and direction of the performance. Together, the dancers explore resilience not as returning to stability, but as an ongoing practice of adapting, connecting, and discovering what comes next.
