REVIEW EXTRACT 'Sioned Huws presented a body that transcends itself in movement. A body that appears like a finely constructed machine – and yet the movement is that of a determined being of flesh and blood. Huw's dance moves back and forth between these two possibilities in a truly stunning manner, the dance manages to make the perception of the audience increasingly more acute.' Taz Hamburg (Dear Body)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Passion No Patience Developed and based on a study of video sequences issued from a motion capture session, this work integrates wireless stethoscopes to transmit the heartbeat of each performer and convert them into a receptive light and sound environment. (55 mins, 8 on the road)
You don't know how to make the first move gracefully Solo performance based on motion capture extracts and unpremeditated movements. In this work the dancer loses and finds herself continuously within the support of an interactive environment of sensors, sound, video and light. (50 mins, 3 on the road)
StillMoving Alpha–Vs Installation-based performance focused on stillness and movement, questioning and investigating the complexity of body stillness/movement through an observation of ourselves and our reflected/projected image. The work is constantly evolving and mutating every time it’s presented. (20 mins, 2–3 on the road)
RECENT INTERNATIONAL WORK 2006 Italy, Sardinia (You don’t know…) 2005 Belgium (Passion No Patience), Costa Rica, Italy, France (You don't know…), Slovenia (StillMoving Alpha-Vs)
