This Thursday and Friday
Laban Theatre, London

My wife Kasia Witek’s latest dance performance, which I’ve scored, premieres this week at Laban Theatre in London. Into the peace of wild things, a commission from Trinity Laban Dance Collective for the conservatoire’s MA students, is an expanded version of Kasia’s previous London performance Solastalgia, with new music I created in collaboration with double bassist Caius Williams.

Kasia writes:
This work examines the shifting relationship between the human body and the material world, centering on the wooden staff as both an object and a presence. In a state of urgency—like survivors on the brink—performers navigate moments of collapse and support, attuning themselves to the resonance of wood as it asserts its own agency. In this fragile moment of tension and deep listening, as the world teeters on the edge of collapse, we are left wondering what will remain—and what voices we have failed to hear.

Trinity Laban Dance Collective (MA/MFA Dance Performance) - Double Bill

Curtain Up. 12 Dancers take to the stage for a double bill performance never seen before.

Trinity Laban Dance Collective (MA/MFA Dance Performance) presents two brand new works, developed from their close working in the studio with choreographers Sung Im Her and Kasia Witek.

South Korean choreographer and movement director Sung Im Her has been described as a ‘stage sensation‘ by the Guardian and says “what I … find in UK culture is they really value diversity – it’s very open, willing to listen to other voices. I think I’ve had more opportunity here to make choreography in my own voice than I would have had anywhere else in Europe.”

Working with Trinity Laban Dance Collective, Sung Im Her presents Memories of Wind:

Memories of wind explores the contrast of pain, playfulness, loneliness and togetherness within the context of memories from the past, present and future. These memories come together to shape us and they come and go like a gust of wind.

Polish-born, London-based dance artist and choreographer Kasia Witek’s work crosses over between dance, installation, video, theatre and outdoor performance. She’s worked with opera companies, with puppetry and with the London Symphony Orchestra. Her choreography deals with themes of environmental empathy and the intelligence of the human body, and her work has been performed at the UN Climate Change Conference COP24 in Warsaw.

For her piece with Trinity Laban Dance Collective, she says:
This work examines the shifting relationship between the human body and the material world, centering on the wooden staff as both an object and a presence. In a state of urgency—like survivors on the brink—performers navigate moments of collapse and support, attuning themselves to the resonance of wood as it asserts its own agency. In this fragile moment of tension and deep listening, as the world teeters on the edge of collapse, we are left wondering what will remain—and what voices we have failed to hear.

As these pieces are still being created by the choreographers and dancers, all will be revealed on the night. Come and experience it with us.
