Is Susan Lonely?
"Is Susan lonely?" is a dance piece about having an idea of a better you and the process of trying to move towards it. The project highlights the destructive nature of the concept of an ideal self to our relationship with the world. It examines whether division with one's own self can be a basis of loneliness.

Empathy
Fascinated by the rapid decline of empathy, artists crash together. Admitting that the waters around us have grown, dance, theatre and live-music weave together, asking politely: Please don’t stand in the doorway. Don’t block up the hall. Pondering if the last time we cried was in front of a youtube video, maybe going to the theatre would be nice?

everything blue
A performance from two perspectives. The show exposes unexpected aspects of communication and the challenges that arise in these encounters. Fusing together two dissimilar approaches brings into focus our own predetermined views. The jointly-created dance performance will be experienced in two interacting parts which enrich and complete each other.
