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)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
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, 1 on stage, 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)

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.)

WRAP-AROUND
