Drift
Premiering May 21-23, 2026 at The Dance Centre
Drift is the performance of a post-humanist world where the human form has dissolved into the backdrop of a landscape scarred by its own existence. Corporeal Imago inhabits the haunted aftermath of the anthropocene, where time and space are no longer defined by human agency. Through transfigured bodies, cosmic noise, and a shifting atmospheric weave of effects, the work evokes the silent reign of non-human actors—planetary rhythms, ancestral whispers, and microbial will—that shape the world. In this altered ecology, bodies are mere echoes, drifting through the debris of an eternal flux.

Imago
Imago is a “visually stunning, emotionally resonant” (Ed Fest Mag) contemporary aerial dance duet. Winner of the Intercultural Connections Best Production award at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, it explores the space between holding onto and letting go of another. Critics have praised it as “an incredibly impressive feat of acrobatics, staging, and sound design” (Fest), “a beautifully executed and contemplative experience” (Edinburgh Festival for Kids), “a thoughtful and beautiful take on circus and aerial skills” (Voice Mag), and “sublime physicality” (Scots Gay Arts).
“Imago carries you with it, skyward… somewhere beyond words.” — Three Weeks

Throe
Throe explores our interdependence in the aftermath of our future disaster with a stunning intersection of aerial acrobatics, contemporary dance, and visual theatre. This new work features six powerful performers in a world of aerial ropes, as they cling to what remains in the throes of survival. While Throe depicts us at the mercy of our circumstances, it also highlights the resilience and hope in collectivity.
