Life Force

Life Force uses elaborate human scale puppets, choreographed movements and video to create performative paintings.

The costume designs were inspired by narratives from the book ‘Éve’, written by W.M. Paul Young, and were created using embroidery, silk curtains, drawings and oil paintings. The choreography for the performers was based on Wayne McGregor’s ‘Wolfe Works, an award-winning ballet triptych inspired by the writings of Virginia Wolfe performed by the Royal Ballet.
