<\/p>\nSplit Signs is a double bill performance at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective featuring exciting new work by Julia de Rosenwerth and Adriana Jamisse. These young dance artists are working towards a language of movement and improvisation that is exploratory and different.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Both de Rosenwerth and Jamisse have worked with award winning choreographer Nicola Elliot. Elliot was one of the Theatre Arts Admin Collective\u2019s Emerging Theatre Directors Bursary recipients in 2012.<\/p>\n
Split Signs is a unique collaboration between artists of dance, photography and design. Friends and colleagues shared skills and expertise as they worked towards creating a production that is multidisciplinary and multidimensional.<\/p>\n

The first work Split is a solo piece choreographed and performed by de Rosenwerth and directed by Jamisse. \u201cThis work emerged from an exploration of significant childhood memories,” says de Rosenwerth. \u201cI recognised a particular uneasiness I felt toward them and in response, through movement and costume, I began to purposefully invert, destabilise and deform my own female body. I became interested in the different political, gender-based and sexual readings that can arise from seeing a female body constantly upside down.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a womxn, I often experience a rift between knowing my own subjective complexity and continuously being objectified (both by myself and others). This is a result of the male-dominant, hyper-sexualised and hyper-image conscious society that I find myself in. A kind of doubleness or SPLIT in the experience of myself and how I relate to my body is created. I explore this in the work which began on a residency with The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative in 2016.\u201c<\/p>\n
Fit of Peak is a duet which follows Split. This is choreographed and performed by de Rosenwerth and Jamisse.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur duet arose from an investigation into how breath, rhythm and voice could seed a movement vocabulary,\u201c de Rosenwerth continues. \u201cWe chose not to investigate a theme or concept at first, but allowed something to emerge from our bodies. This introduced a tension between being intuitive in our tasks and creating meaning for an audience. Due to our positionality as friends, womxn and artists, what arose from our process was a desire to express frustration and anger, free our sensuality and physicalise our personal relationship. As a result the work has a lyricism that emphasises our moving bodies, but does not neglect our personal politics and interactions.”<\/p>\n
Jamisse adds to the conversation; \u201cFit of Peak is a multi-layered duet between two people who have been through a lot together and cultivate each other positively on a daily basis, regardless. It is an investigation of our internal and individual struggles while together, while holding and being held, and also while in conversation with each other.”<\/p>\n
During the staging of Split Signs there will also be photography on display by Alessandra Griffin.<\/p>\n
The collective\u2019s innovative ANY BODY ZINE will also be available for purchase during the run. This is a self-produced collaborative project featuring engaging content around dance, bodies and movement. It was created by Nicola van Straaten, Kopano Maroga and Julia de Rosenwerth.<\/p>\n
Split Signs runs from 26th – 28th October at 8pm at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective<\/p>\n
