Neon's latest work 'Puzzle Creature' inspired by artist/architect duo Arakawa and Madeline Gins. Three exquisite dance artists drive the performance with wearable body sculptures from award winning artist Ana Rajcevic, creating curious imprints of choreographed action.

Puzzle Creature includes British Sign Language & Japanese Sign Language.

Audio Described by Louise Fryer.

Adrienne Hart has been invited to deliver a lecture presentation on her new work 'Puzzle Creature' organised by the Arakawa + Gins study group who are based at Kansai University. 

Since 1989, Company of Elders, Sadler’s Wells’ inspirational resident over-60s performance company, has been demonstrating the power of lifelong creativity and proving it is never too late to start dancing. In this mixed bill they bring new work from exciting choreographers including Adrienne Hart, Seeta Patel and Dickson Mbi. 

Artistic Director and choreographer Adrienne Hart will be sharing plans for her new work Puzzle Creature, inspired by the work of artist / architect duo Arakawa and Madeline Gins. She will reveal early stage designs for an accessible and immersive set, designed by award winning design collective Numen. Hart will also explore and take a wider look at dance, architecture and music in the UK/Japan, alongside the pioneering work of Arakawa and Gins. This is a free event and part of Pervasive Media Studios Lunchtime Talk series. 

Choreographer Adrienne Hart and Composer/Producer Sebastian Reynolds collaborate with musicians and dance artists from Thailand and the UK to retell the story of Mahajanaka, a shipwrecked prince who survives alone at sea until the goddess of the ocean comes to his rescue. Bringing together east and western musical traditions, this beautiful show fuses ancient and modern. 

A half-day conference on the occasion of the opening of the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery exhibition Arakawa and Madeline Gins: Eternal Gradient. The event convenes architects, artists, historians and writers to offer fresh interpretations of Arakawa and Gins’ work and theories in the context of contemporary practices and scholarship.

In partnership with Oxford Dance Forum, Neon Dance host a free Artist Talk and Workshop event at Oxford's Old Fire Station. Designed for Oxford based dance artists interested in international collaboration, a 1.5 hour dance workshop led by Neon Dance will be followed by a facilitated talk and Q&A with the award winning Thai dance artist Pichet Klunchun, 'Mahajanaka' Composer / Producer Sebastian Reynolds, and dramaturg Miranda Laurence.
