Wishbone was a choreographic piece made after site-specific performance practices in four sites (chosen by each performer). The piece loosely held the visions of the Lancashire river, a kind of Land as Dramaturgy.

With Simone Kenyon, Jo Hellier, Jo Blake and Jonah Brody.

Supported by Arts Council England and The Yard Theatre, 2016.

WISHBONE emerged from an ongoing collaboration with place and the nonhuman. Through the research, an ancestral memory - both human and nonhuman - was unearthed through site specific and studio based choreographic practices. Every landscape and every ancestral line carries violence; we place our bodies lingering between absence and memory, never trying to complete the story but hovering as a vibration between human and nonhuman. Stumbling, we feel our way into past futures.

Collaborating performers Simone Kenyon, Jo Blake Cave, Jo Hellier.
