Bodies cannot speak freely under capital and surveillance. So the question is, what can the body speak?
HOW TO DANCE searches for forms of expression that exist beyond the verbal, asking what kinds of truths, refusals, and desires can be conveyed through the physical.
Thoughts in a notebook as a string of images.
Made to celebrate Close-Up cinema, London.

After decades of lies, resentments and stolen identities, a Muslim mother confronts her drag queen son for her long overdue moment in the spotlight.
Mother's husband and Son's father has just died. Mother is losing everything; her house, her glamour, her visibility. Son is profiting from grief; a drag queen who wins the applause his mother has never received. Whilst he has the spotlight, she is erased. He exaggerates stories of his mother, bartering in Islamophobic tropes to win white peoples’ sympathy. Her life is being re-written by her son – and he does it dressed as her.
Like Medea before her, Mother decides to claim what is hers – her voice, her identity, her story, her trauma. She confronts her son backstage for a show. A tragic Greek confrontation ensues, where intergenerational curses are finally broken, and Mother claims what she feels is rightfully hers.
Her womanhood, her spotlight, her moment.

Death Cafes offer a place for strangers to gather and discuss all things mortality. Animated in tea and coffee, STEEPING explores the ceremony of the cafe, inviting people to ponder our attitudes towards death and dying and reflect on how a conversation over a cup of something might make broaching the subject a little less terrifying.
In the stillness of a park, a grieving young man meets a mysterious stranger whose comforting presence rediscovers hope and uncovers a connection that transcends time and loss.
A private conversation is transformed into a soundscape where only the occasional word emerges with any clarity. Moiré patterns move like human shapes, meet then separate into the darkness.
