“It was a privilege to be among the audience for Animating Tremors and the performance has really stayed with me. 

I found it incredibly moving and affecting and the whole performance was superbly well paced and executed. It felt like it brought together manifold layers of contemporary and historic references. 

Resonances of healing, vulnerability and survival came through strongly for me.”

Animating tremors

This performance explores tension release through body and breath. The body is voluntarily shaking to dispel energy. The materials for this work are a body, a room and a rosemary bush. 

Two-hour durational performance.
