A/Part

A dance film by Phoenix Dance Theatre and Alleyne Dance
Premiere 11 November 2022

Are we staying together for…
What we used to be?
For who you used to be?
Or for what it can be?

Inspired by true stories of family and friends, we created a duet exploring the emotional and physical stress of growing apart from a person that you used to have a bond with. Time and space are confused with what is reality, what is a flash back or a dream.

“That’s how it started: a series of small hurts and excuses between two people that built up slowly, widening over time to form a vast and yawning divide.”
Nenia Campbell, Terrorscape
