Staging Schiele

Consultancy work for choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh as she researched her one act dance work Staging Schiele. Designed for four dancers, it was a response to Egon Schiele’s life and work, in particular to the women he engaged with: models, lover, wife and mother. The London premier was at the Southbank Centre in the Autumn of 2019. Staging Schiele was celebrated by critics for its intelligence as well as its striking choreography. The online broadcast of the full work can be seen here:
