Choreography

Swing 2.0

Newry Arts Centre and Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre, 2025

funded by The Fenton Arts Trust

Swing 2.0 full length feature performance experiments with time, the power between the dancer and the score by taking on the idea of a pendulum swing. The piece experiments with using a strict mathematic score and explores how we can bring the subjectivity of the dancers to something so linear. Swing 2.0 aims to create a powerful, feminine embodiment of maths in motion.

Dancers: Itzel Limón, Arianna Guasso, Alice Gavigan
Music: Stuart Barter

Directions of Chaos

Limerick, 2023

funded by Irish Research Council

Four part exploration of the ways in which we can manipulate mathematical chaos systems to create choreography. Each piece experiments with how the variables of a chaos system can influence choreographic structure in terms of speech, design, movement, time and space.

Dancers: Niamh Clancy, Karah Delanny, Aneta Dortová, Arianna Guasso, Lina Elise Greter, Eva McGeown, Marcela Pridavkova

Lighting: Pius McGrath

Visible Chaos

Limerick, 2022

funded by Irish Research Council

Visible Chaos explores the potential for using complex mathematical systems to inform choreography. The mathematical equations researched in this piece inform the space, structure, movement, sound and direction of the final choreography. Visible Chaos works to merge two opposing disciplines in the hope of developing new choreographic structures whilst successfully representing complex mathematical theories in practice.
