Jeremy Haxton – choreographer & performer

You Betta Work is a new piece created for Embody2. A mix of physical theatre and contemporary dance, the piece highlights the monotony of living in the rat race. It plays on pedestrian movement and pop culture and comes of whimsical while still critiquing the 9 to 5 mold.

Juliet Shelley – choreographer & performer

Culture and Nature - two pieces
SOIS is a piece that is created both in the studio and live in performance.
Content includes: sound, sight, sensation and the many different configurations of them in any given moment; choreography is sourced from the energy patterns of the nine star ki - an ancient Chinese tool for divination and astrology; the last poem of Pablo Neruda;
And So is a solo piece created originally to perform at the Dotline Festival in Tuscany in 2011.
Music is by Nic McGowan and Rhian Sheehan.

Keely Turuwhenua – singer & songwriter

In a world where it sometimes hard to heard, Keely Turuwhenua is slowly making waves in the Wellington music scene. From humble beginnings, this singer/songwriter started busking in the subway of the Wellington Railway Station and now performs in some of Wellington’s finest bars. Her unique mash-up of guitar playing, lyrics, beautiful vocals and casual banter will keep you wanting more.
Chasing Light is a sample of songs that explores the idea of searching for that individual expression that is yours and sharing that with the world; the idea of creating and releasing.
