Programme note:

‘Still Changes’ is a tale of change and transformation, inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

The performers explore what it means to change: through images, costume, design and movement. With a strong focus on sound and rhythm, the piece aims to create an atmosphere which is both mystical and playful. 

The dancers are dressed in garments reminiscent of mythical birds, shifting clouds and worlds only imagined. Through these ever-changing bodies coming together in ritualistic movement, the audience is invited to experience the continual creation of new landscapes. Watch as these creatures morph together to form new and fantastical beings: at times human, at times animal. They are in endless cycles of death, re-birth, shedding and shape-shifting.
