“As Things Go is a presentation of a framework, which is titled: The Lettuce, Book and the Lighting Desk. These images represent elements of improvised manifestations, and look to provide a dancer with further autonomy within their decision making. The Book involves the identification and labelling of any movement, state, texture or imaginary action. The Lighting Desk has to do with manipulating these newly named ideas, whilst the Lettuce stands as an image for the duration or lifetime of the chosen movement - constantly unfolding and exposing the next idea. ”
