Movement Showreel
Choreographic Works
concept, direction & choreography by joseph adamson
'parallel pulse'
in collaboration with izzy bonny as part of the liverpool dance prize presented by leap dance festival
Two bodies split, then intertwine,
a pulse of fracture under skin
the mind moves on, the body stays,
caught in echoes it lives within.
They reach, resist, and fall apart,
a quiet map of hidden pain
not to heal, but just to trace
what moves through loss again and again.
co-choreographers/performers: joseph thomas adamson & izzy bonny
sound editor: travis smith
dramaturg: lisa van duijn
videography: anna levin

premiere: 30th april 2026 at unity theatre, liverpool as part of liverpool dance prize
'bare nerve (work-in-progress)'
sensations share one body,
pulling in opposite directions.
the mind races, the body lingers,
both refusing silence, until exhaustion strikes
the body learns its truth
to stay, to feel, to accept
as part of becoming whole.
