About this exposition

This exposition takes the form of an archive, a documentation of the process of conceptualising, devising, making, and rehearsing a new work for movement and sound created by myself and dancer/choreographer Lydia Swift in collaboration with the artists James Graham, Darius Paymai, Maxime Trechsel, and Georgie West. As a process-led collaboration, the piece exists as a practice developed with all of these people, and as such, a score for (re)performance does not exist. In lieu of a score, this archive aims to lay bare that process by tracing the various decisions made and iterations that the work went through to reach the version which was performed on the 27th of May 2025. It also serves to exhibit the ephemera that were used and generated through this process, as well to offer the opportunity to see early versions of the piece to get a sense of this progression. To reiterate, this is not a score. The score exists in the bodies and minds of the performers and is not intended to be suitable for restaging.
