SALT.
A hosting duo find themselves trapped in an inescapable cycle of never-ending self-celebration. As their egos battle to climb the ladder to “success”, they climb the walls. As the facade dissolves, what will remain of their humanity and their sanity?
Concept & direction by me
Choreography in collaboration with the performers Jordan Gigout & Zoe Gyssler

united states of tension / a research workshop by @creebw coming to the b12 summer festival in berlin, from 23/07 — 28/07/2024 at @dock_11_eden
find out more about this workshop and apply for your b12 festival experience via the b12 website linked in our bio / www.b12.space
we move between freedom and restriction, willingness and rebellion. we choose to switch between instinct and information. we drift, we flow, we cut between physical qualities and psychological states that co-exist, belonging to each other, yet simultaneously striving to maintain their identity. we bring structure to improvisation and invite freedom to invade what is set. we dissociate, we black out, we remain present. states of tension: transforming the narrative of movement, language and performance. this workshop will focus on finding freedom within restriction and transforming the narratives that we build, both in performance and personally.

It’s late but I haven’t been in the studio for a couple of months so tonight I got so excited because I missed being at home in my body. There are times I feel my self in a state of paralysis, my favourite comfy armchair could be a concrete block and nothing moves, nothing flows, information remains unprocessed. But my body talks, information comes and goes and all at once I understand what I didn’t know five seconds ago. And that’s a gift 💙
My relationship to dance has changed because a lot about the dance world is problematic and I can’t unsee it. I can’t unsee the pain and disillusionment of my friends and peers. So I look to the very core of what dance is and try to see what’s there. I feel like what moves through the body is a confession of everything that your mouth has refused to form into words. Make of that what you will, I think a lot of us are still trying to unmute and turn the volume up on the silence.
P.s. If you’re lucky and determined enough to get to the end of this vid you’ll witness the moment I do a kind of jazz split like something out of Flashdance and then take a hot second to just sit there and think about what the f just happened #sliving

July was… hair twists, acne scars, my face on an opera poster, Jakevis vogueing in a poodle mask, a cornetto on a grey day and everyday, pre-performance moments, Michael Kiwanuka and Berlin 💙

If a tree falls in a forest, and there’s no one around to post it on socials, does the tree make a sound? And to that end, I hearby rescind my grid posting hiatus 🌳👏
Here I am as the 1959 ‘Barbie’ (age 62) in my piece ELEFANTIN at MayFest 2022 thanks to @roseannagraceanderson and @joshbentovim of Impermanence 🙏🏽

united states of tension
we move between freedom and restriction, willingness and rebellion.
we choose to switch between instinct and information.
we drift, we flow, we cut between physical qualities and psychological states that co-exist, belonging to each other, yet simultaneously striving to maintain their identity.
we bring structure to improvisation and invite freedom to invade what is set.
we dissociate, we black out, we remain present. transforming the narrative of movement, language and performance.
