What Dance Means To Me - Ellesse
Movement and words by Becky Namgauds
Emerging - Scareus Aerial Theatre
EMERGING combines dance, aerial, and excerpts from letters to fearlessly shed light on what it means to live within liminality and how to navigate the shifting sands of identity, relationships, and a life-changing process.
This story is led by Naissa, 21, who has experienced gender dysphoria for as long as he can remember. It centres on the relationship between Naissa and his mother, Daniela, as they embark on a journey into the unknown. Through performance and letters written to each other during the last year, Naissa and Daniela harness their art to better understand both themselves and each other, and to express what cannot be clothed in words alone.
While sensitively exploring the issues of gender, identity and representation, on a broader level EMERGING is a universal story about a parent child relationship, coming of age, and independence. It’s an intimate experience of the power of creativity to facilitate profound change.

Quarantaine
Written and Directed by
Georgina Starr
Produced by
Elizabeth Benjamin
Executive Producers
Steven Bode, FVU
Susanna Chisholm, FVU
Assistant Choreographer -Becky Namgauds
'Quarantaine' (43mins) is a new film by Georgina Starr co-commissioned in 2019 by Film and Video Umbrella, The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, Leeds Art Gallery and Glasgow International. With Art Fund support through the Moving Image Fund for Museums. Supported by Arts Council England.
'Quarantaine' is Georgina Starr’s most ambitious film project to date. Its title refers to the French word for forty, and also alludes to the period of enforced isolation commonly known as quarantine. In Celtic mythology ‘une quarantaine’ begins on the first full moon of spring - a liminal and dangerous occasion when the barriers between the Earthly world and the Spirit world are temporarily dissolved.
