VALA COMUM
ANDRESA SOARES_BRUNO HUMBERTO_JOÃO FERRO MARTINS
"Estamos num lugar mágico. Já vimos que estamos num lugar mágico já que a magia transforma sem razão o lugar do pensamento. E se esse lugar caiu no lugar de todas as cores, de todas as dores, levemos também os nossos gestos a todos os terrenos lavrados pela proliferação da ausência, alienando o nosso saber dos grilhões mais ou menos académicos da nossa real existência e depurando o espírito para que se abra e se explane no etéreo movimento das moléculas que compõem o ar que não respiramos. O ar que nos envolve sem o dominarmos e transformarmos com os nossos pulmões. Vamos sim transformá-lo com o movimento derivado do gesto, do golpe que lhe infligimos e desse “tau” resultará um inominável vento do universo que se espalhará pelo sentido que lhe é implícito alterando-o irreversivelmente através da ritualização e fé na nossa comum obsessão. Apunhalamos com os nossos punhos a solidez das pedras até à migalha mais ínfima do que nos é comum e saltamos pela janela do olhar de Deus."

Performer and co-composition of music score for Tara D’Arquian's piece at Greenwich Dance Agency, London (17-21 February 2016)
Quests
Quests is the second site-sensitive performance in a trilogy of work by Belgian choreographer Tara D’Arquian. Following the success of D'Arquian's first work In Situ, a 2013 Compass Commission, D’Arquian returns with set and costume designer Yann Seabra and composers Philippe Lenzini and Bruno Humberto to explore and deconstruct the multiplicity of self and myths of humanity.
Whilst In Situ was conceived for a disused chapel in Peckham, Asylum, Quests will transpire in and transform Greenwich Dance's home, The Borough Hall, into multiple worlds in which temporalities and places will coexist.
Quests is a story of love, loss and creation, in which we are constantly faced with crossroads. As a spectator of this fragmented reality, where the roads of dreams and memories are not so dissimilar, you will be led to examine your own disjointed self.
Quests is commissioned by Greenwich Dance and supported by Arts Council England, Trinity Laban and DanceEast.

Sick of Love
SICK OF LOVE Research and Development for Incubate and Work-in-Progress Performances for Suspense Festival, Little Angel Theatre Autumn 2009
So it is a lover who speaks and says: …….. what echoes in me is what I learn with my body.
Roland Barthes A Lover’s Discourse
Sick of Love explores erotic love and the evocative power of the material via live animation of objects, text and flesh, extending Furse’s ongoing research into the body-in-performance.
Sick of Love is performed with the full presence of the animators in view. Sat around a huge bed, the audience become intimately close to the action, choosing their own ‘close-ups’. The work-in-progress is the first Etude onpresence to come from the Laboratory, this one specifically exploring how the performer can channel the spectator’s attention to materiality and to the unfolding actions and images created. The performer is, like the puppeteer, saying ‘look at this’ not ‘look at me’, a way of playing that requires detailed focus and highly controlled physicality.
Direction/Scenography - Anna Furse
Laboratory Performers - André Amálio, Tereza Havlickova, Alex Crowe, Dafne Louzioti, Vanio Papadelli, Borja Sagasti, Bruno Humberto
Sound Composition - James Bulley
Lighting - Mischa Twitchin

Virtual Jukebox
Globally dispersed performers separated by time zones, land and sea come together to dance to a unique play list made up entirely of personal dedications.
mouth to mouth invite the audience to select songs from the play list they would like us to dance to – triggering both virtual and real performers and revealing personal dedications.
Virtual Jukebox will bring together members of mouth to mouth via a live web link to take part in an intimate, durational dance off. Gestures and dance moves will be shared, embodied, and passed on both in live and virtual spaces.
mouth to mouth are not trained dancers; this is more about improvised participation and endurance than skill.
Directed by Kate Craddock and Lynnette Moran
Performed as part of Now and Then at Gallery North (UK) as part of the Wunderbar Festival – 2009

The Geomancers and Shunt's Crying Wall
physical theatre and site-specific collaboration made for Shunt, London.
During the current works for the new London Bridge Station a rather curious event happened. At the southeast part of the Vaults, sustaining the axis between platform 3&7, a Crying Wall was found, a wall that was so thick that is said to contain all the expectations, sorrows and desires of an entire city. As this murmuring place prepares for its destruction while the rails tremble beneath people's souls, Shunt invited 2 geomancers saltimbancos to make some readings and get some advice in how to deal with the soil. Mixing the languages of dance, Physical and absurd theatre, this moving performance integrates an installation that will invite people to whisper and write thoughts to be sealed in the underground realm as Shunt closes.

A river runs through us
mouth to mouth presents a short interactive performance that utilises and reveals their unique methods for communication as global storytellers. The performance serves as a provocation for a wider discussion with members of the company – both live and virtual.
Combining live performance with hi-fi and lo-fi technologies, A River Runs Through Us co-directed by Kate Craddock and Lynnette Moran, brings dispersed performers together and exposes our increasingly technologised and homogenised community and landscape. The performance questions how individual cultural identities can co-exist.
