"I am interested in 20th Century dance histories at the intersection of dance and visual art, recently explored in The Artists Ballet are images of Pina Bausch’s experimental dance work; Robert Rauschenberg assemblage structures and costumes; along with reimagining and reframing Paris based early avant-garde experimental dance of the Ballets Russes. My commitment to avant-garde histories and legacies is reflected in this new work and extends a line of practice commenced with previous works, including The Violet Ballet (2018–19) and The Choreography of Cutting (2014–17)." - Sally Smart
