Spine looks at four main sections of our structure; the head, Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar spine. I developed a spinal injury during my dance training and have noticed the continuous rebuilding my body has performed around the injury. This performance explores the way in which the body and the spine react to the movements that occur in the back during life. I have focused on how the vertebra is capable of stacking and re-building in order to change the shape of the spine.

What is the change we may go through when transferring from one place to another - one home to the next, and what decisions are needed in order to make a smooth transition. Our choreography explores the difficulties and pain we have come across but also the joy we have experienced during this process.

Achterland 81
Choreographed and performed by Alexa Mason, Lauren Musgrave, Katie Dale-Everett, Kaasam Garthwaite Aziz, Marketa Jandova
2012
To see a trailer for Achterland 81 please Click Here
This piece was a re-creation of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s choreography Achterland 1990…A re-enactment of an original source. “Re-enactment can accordingly be characterised as memory performed twice” (De Laet 2012). Our short performance became a memory that was developed and re-worked into our own interpretation of De Keersmaeker's original performance.

Oxygen is a journey for two people exploring things about themselves and each other. I have been playing with the idea of survival, looking in detail at certain things we do as humans/animals to stay alive. What happens when there are only two people fighting for the same thing when there is only enough for one? - do they argue? fight and manipulate each other for the space before them? or perhaps help each other on their way.
