Untitled (Peekaboo!)

performance for babies/early years
We want to make a show for babies - an extended game of peekaboo, in which people and things make a series of choreographed appearances and disappearances. A show to inspire wonder at magic, and grief at things lost. A show designed for an audience without object permanence, who will inevitably forget ever having seen it.

Untitled (Sleepover)

durational participatory performance

Another idea: we would like to host an overnight performance in an arts centre/institutional building. A sleepover in which no-one sleeps, but instead participates in a kind of bleary-eyed waking dream - gossipping, eating ice-cream, going on ghost tours, making art,  hatching plans, exploring hidden corners, leaving traces. A highly unusual, playful excursion on the power and possibility of the night-time, coming from a place of burnout and exhaustion (as people working in the arts in the UK in 2026).

Something in Your Voice

performance for theatres



“I know that you know me better than I  know me”
- Holly Herndon, ‘Home’


With this piece we are exploring the politics of big data, algorithmic surveillance and privacy, and what’s at stake for our philosophical notions of selfhood and autonomy in this hotly contested arena. Featuring a duo of duos, we will be collaborating with a pair of dancers who mirror, shadow, infiltrate and overtake us onstage. 

We did initial R&D on this project in 2020 and 2022 and created a work-in-progress version, but the project was put into hibernation by Covid. In 2025, we began reimagining it, starting from scratch.

With the support of an MGCFutures grant and WECA’s Creative Freelancer grant, we returned to this work in 2025 with residencies at Bristol Old Vic and the MAYKing Space.
