The development of this new work, The Ophelia Project, is to mark the formation of The Ophelia Collective - a collective of female movement artists. The collective is being set up in reaction to the current discussions in the contemporary dance world about a lack of female choreographers.

The Ophelia Project is a celebration of women, performed by women. It draws upon romantic images of women such as Millais' Ophelia and other Pre-Raphaelite paintings to create movement. It is further influenced by the work of Lord Byron, Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser. The performance lies somewhere between live art and physical theatre and is clearly set within the natural world through the soundscape and movement. It examines the Pre-Raphaelite's glorification of the natural world and, as women, our relationship with Mother Nature.
