"Some memories are so clear, that even if they happened years ago, they feel like yesterday. Others come back only for a moment; in an encounter, a touch, a conversation."​​

 

Go Away Johnny is a blend of dance, theatre and performance exploring the nature of memory. Set on a giant sheepskin rug, six performers search for connection with each other, their lives lost and the memories that bring them together.​

 

The first phase of development for this piece began in February 2017 supported by Arts Council England. We created a 40 minute piece which ran at DanceCity, Newcastle. With further support from Arts Council England, DanceCity and ARC the piece became my first full length work, premiering in 2018.
