DIS(INFORMATION)? Film is out on @nowness now Following an in person premiere at the @nationalgallery Driven by relentless choreography and a pulsating electronic score, DIS(INFORMATION)? mirrors the speed and emotional overload of our digital world. In a graphic red and black landscape, a surrounding mass closes around five figures, absorbing and consuming them as unity disintegrates into isolation. A physical metaphor for how social media and algorithms shape behaviour and identity, promising connection while quietly deepening division.

HERD(mentality) Full film now on @nowness website. HERD(mentality) is a vigorous dance film that explores the intricate dynamics of herd mentality and personal identity. Through strong visual narratives, we repeatedly witness one of the twenty-five dancers at London Contemporary Dance School being singled out, highlighting the struggle and triumph of asserting one’s identity. Each scenario captures the essence of personal expression within the collective, navigating the delicate balance of belonging and self-discovery.  Thanks to this incredible team.
