PERMANENT STAFF Artistic Director/Choreographer Sioned Huws
ARTISTIC POLICY Sioned Huws aims to create prominent and dynamic dance works that challenge and integrate different art forms. These works reflect on the physical structure of reality; recognising that it is always a person and a space.
REVIEW EXTRACTS 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. Taz Hamburg (Dear Body) Her sensibilities are those of an artist not limited to one genre or one medium, Sioned Huws is someone who just cannot be categorised. Western Mail (You don't know how to make the first move gracefully) The key to Aomori Project is its subtlety. The movement is based on repetition that changes ever so slightly and may be missed by the casual observer. Metro (Aomori Project)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Aomori Project is a duet between a dancer and an installation artist, focusing on the body and how it copes with its surroundings; moving horizontally, attempting to achieve the effort of the vertical, disorientation and re-orientation within repetitive situations. The horizontal body and vertical landscape coincide. This performance was inspired by the harsh winter conditions and continual snow storms in the North of Japan. 50 mins, 1 on stage, 4 on the road
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS New work (title tbc). Developed as part of a 2008 Residency at Aomori Contemporary Arts Centre, Japan in association with Chapter, Cardiff. Available from May 2008
