Blutone
about
twenty-four hours unfolding in three phases: work, rest, and collaboration. The performance was a state of becoming—a zen progression, a way of navigating and being within the world. It is an aspiration, a presence: unwired, phone-less, enclosed within an isolated box. For me, Blutone embodies zero—a balance point, colder below, warmer above—a liminal state suspended between extremes. It is the state I seek to inhabit through performance.

sunkiss
about
A four-hour performance piece revolving around the idea of slowness in response to the acceleration of a rapidly forward-moving world. Rather than following a script, the performers engage in slow motion, fully focused on the present moment. An emergent choreography arises, whose full movements may only be grasped if the witness also endures.

oceanic feeling
about
Inspired by the myth of Sisyphus and Romain Rolland's idea of the oceanic feeling, these performances explore the pursuit of meaning, as the performer continuously runs on a treadmill.

about
A club night was abruptly halted by a singing choir, bringing all lights and sounds to a sudden stop. The choir, illuminated by a spotlight, slowly smirked as they chanted for one minute until the spotlight extinguished and they disappeared.
