Choreographed with Dance BPA students at York St John University
“It was great to see the space being used in a different way and I was particularly pleased to see museum visitors and staff enjoying it. A very successful project.”

Dwarfed by steel carriages with the power to move us beyond our human scale, eleven young women enact the expectation, the soon and the not ever of waiting and loss.
Amongst the stilled engines of transition remains a residue of human lives carved out delicately and determinedly in the wake of events greater than our control.
