SENSE OF CENTRE
Imagine a home that is living and breathing, that moves from place to place, a home that we are born in and die in. The body is a home, can be a home and should be a home. Sense of Centre is a new solo that explores the concept of the longing for a sense of home and how the body can play a part in this. It explores the role of the body as the most constant and tangible element of our existence in a world that is rushing by, is fractured and breaking apart. It will attempt to remedy the chaos of our current world, the economic and political challenges we face and our ever increasing fascination with the digital and technological world by drawing the performer and the audience back to the simplicity of the moving and dancing body as a source of comfort, belonging and connection.
Through the use of intricate choreography and dance, objects and projection, Sense of Centre is a moving and compelling return to the simplicity of nature, the importance of belonging and connecting and the body's necessary role as a vehicle for all of these things.

79 SPACES
79 Spaces is a work for an intergenerational group of people between the ages of 20 and 70 years old/young. 79 is a rough average of the age that humans could live to be. Working with this sense of time as a guide for a new work, 79 Spaces explores choreography and movement methodologies that explore life in the in between spaces, the value of time, how much time we have left, how much we've wasted and as we grow older how our sense of time changes. This work is part of and informed by Jack's current body of work exploring choreographic strategies that bring people together, paying close attention to the importance of support networks, community, connection, disconnection, isolation, loneliness, care of oneself and others and the never ending search for shared connection and its transformative effects.
