Jemma Stein | home sweet home | Dance Base Residency sharing

For this residency Jemma and her collaborators have focussed on the ongoing interdisciplinary choreographic project Home Sweet Home, exploring the relationship between lighting, movement and text as a way of articulating ideas of home, memory and belonging.

Working with one dance artist and one creative writer, Jemma will develop a duet that explores how light can function as an active narrative presence alongside the body, shaping emotional and spatial landscapes rather than acting as a purely technical or decorative element. The focus is on structuring material that can exist clearly within a live performance context and be shared as a work-in-progress at scratch nights, allowing ideas to be tested and questioned in front of audiences.

Followed by an audience discussion.
