BEYOND WORDS

‘Beyond Words’ is a ground-breaking, cross arts dance company, founded by poet and choreographer Helen Calcutt.  

We present text in ways never-before experienced, holding space for words to learn their physical power. Our work is story driven,  rooted in a choreographic language of precise, gestural articulation, physical dynamism, and ensemble staging.  

Through our research, we are committed to true intergration of artistic form. Dance and words have longed occurred side by side. We're interested in deeper translation - where text is 'read' through non-verbal methods of delivery and communication.

Uniting contemporary dance, gesture, and voice, dancers are brought together through playful & unexpected exchanges to create compelling new modes of physical storytelling that ‘break language’.

Participation is a core aspect of our work, supporting our research and connecting us to vibrant dance communities. Our workshops and training experiences are lead by a team of highly experienced movers and performers, with in-depth knowledge of connecting to text, and the self, through embodiment. We tour the country sharing our repertoire with dance professionals, alongside community workshops and research sessions. Our work dives-deep into our unique text translation practice, seeing movement as a means to truly 'speak', exploring how we might shift the landscape of contemporary dance-theatre from abstraction, into exciting new realms of vital communication.

CLAUDIA PALAZZO

Claudia Palazzo is a London born and based artist and dancer working across the intersections and contradictions of dance, performance art, installation, alternative cabaret and film using her body as a responsive site to her environment and territory. Her work exists somewhere between the nightclub, gallery and street, and focuses on the live experience and a place to be able to shift through, let go and sit/deal with. It is often poetic, feral, meditative and violent in its structure, influenced by roots in nightclub culture, inner-city concrete dwellings and psychophysical training. She seeks to establish charged connections and subliminal feedback loops of understanding with an audience in order to process and harness our collective and individual sense of joy, sadness, resistance, power and endurance. Current research is around absorbing impact, damaged support structures, what can represent us in our absence and repair and rebuild.

She is a studio holder at CONDITIONS, a member of drag troupe The Lipsinkers, a member of queer performance and activism collective SPIT and was artist and dancer in residence at GROW Tottenham. Claudia DJ's for The Posh Club - a nightclub in the daytime for the over 60's run by Duckie.

Conrad Kira is a musical artist, producer DJ and sound designer. He comes from Peckham and is a South London native. His musical endeavours span from producing expansive soundtracks to producing industrial drill and grime inspired beats.

GEORGIA TEGOU/DANCE-AS-DESIGN

Choreographer and stage director, Georgia Tegou’s work approaches ‘Dance-as-design’ intertwining choreography with design to create immersive visual environments.

It has received acclaim and has been described as ‘Visually evocative’ (Eckhard Thiemann - The Lowry) ‘Dreamlike (The Times), ‘Tremendously clever’, ‘Admirably Strong’ (Sanjoy Roy), ‘work that’s shifting and challenging dance and its intersectionality to broaden access to wider communities’ (Dance Umbrella). She is a Higher Education Academy Fellow, she was recognized with an ‘Excellence in Teaching Award’ by the University of Roehampton and she guest lectures globally. She is currently an artist in residence at Somerset House Exchange, a programme supporting extraordinary interdisciplinary practitioners.
