(un)bound 2.0

(un)bound 2.0 brings together four emerging choreographers with bold, distinct voices, each interrogating the forces that shape, restrict, and define our bodies.

A body is placed on display, consumed, watched, judged.
Another sits outside the lines, pulled between definitions that never quite fit.
Elsewhere, something invisible shapes everything, systems you can’t see, but feel every day.
And beneath it all, a quiet vibration builds, bodies listening, responding, finding connection in unexpected ways.

This is a night of fresh voices and urgent ideas, where bodies are challenged, identities are questioned, and the systems that shape us are pulled apart in real time. Each work sits between the personal and the political, exploring identity, power, gender, and connection in ways that are immediate and impossible to ignore.

Bodies collide, energy builds, and something electric happens in the room. No two works are the same, but all of them ask you to look again.

Sharp, playful, and unfiltered, (un)bound 2.0 invites you to experience what happens when boundaries are tested, and something begins to shift.

about the works

MEAT MARKET

MEAT MARKET asks a simple, unsettling question: “How does a person, or an animal, become a consumable object?”

Diving into how bodies are valued, traded, judged and controlled, MEAT MARKET draws on Carol J. Adams’ seminal text The Pornography of Meat, which examines the links between the objectification of women and the commodification of animals, informing the work’s exploration of consumption, power and gendered violence.

MEAT MARKET leans into spectacle, comedy, and satire to pull you in and keep you watching. Expect something loud, theatrical, and deliberately provocative, a work that entertains, unsettles, and invites you to look at things a little differently.

Choreographed by Bonnie Curtis.

Performed by Courtney Allerton, Bella Lopes de Oliveira, Sara Moad, Tina Moss, Hannah Mourin and Steph Wyburn.

¿HAIR?

¿HAIR? is a solo work that playfully interrogates the experience of being gendered. Through movement, humour, and personal narrative, the piece explores the arbitrary rules and expectations placed on bodies from birth, questioning why identity is so often confined to rigid, binary structures.

Blending satire with moments of sincerity, the work unpacks gender as a social construct, exposing both its absurdity and its impact ¿HAIR? invites audiences into a fluid, shifting space, somewhere in between, and always changing.

Choreographed and Performed by Bella Lopes de Oliveira.

Default

Inspired by Caroline Criado Perez’s Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, Default exposes the unseen consequences of a world designed without women in mind.

Default brings to life the invisible systems that shape our daily experiences, from healthcare to transport to public safety, revealing how data bias quietly but powerfully impacts women and marginalised communities.

At once urgent and visceral, Default transforms statistics into sensation, making the invisible visible. It asks: what happens when entire bodies are overlooked in the data that defines our world, and what does it take to be seen?

Choreographed by Sara Moad.

Performed by Courtney Allerton, Bonnie Curtis, Tina Moss, Hannah Mourin and Steph Wyburn.

Resonant Frequency

Our bodies move with a natural frequency — a quiet vibration beneath every gesture. Resonant Frequency explores what it means to harness that innate vibration. What resonance do we emit? How does it shape and amplify when shared, and what unspoken energies emerge between us and ourselv

es? Can this frequency change within and around us? This piece invites you to tune in: to the vibrations within, the resonance between bodies, and the possibilities that emerge when we listen deeply.

Choreographed by Tina Moss.

Performed by Courtney Allerton, Bonnie Curtis, Bella Lopes de Oliveira, Sara Moad, Hannah Mourin and Steph Wyburn.
