Projects
  • Moat
    MoatThe initial inspiration of this project came from a Japanese calligraphy workshop that I participated a few months ago. We spoke about the idea of the void, which is strongly tied with Zen Buddhism. To write the word “void” is a challenge to the calligrapher because it has a lot to do with how the word is written instead of what is written. Instead of using paintbrushes, I am relying on the performers’ bodies to transfer the paint onto the canvas. This project will be devised with the simple idea of “how” instead of “what”. I hope to leave a trace of existence on the canvas that this performance existed once. Like calligraphy, there are three stages of when the brush touches the canvas, creates a line or shape, and the brush leaving the canvas. It is like birth, life and death. Moat premiered at the Studio Theatre, Central Saint Martins in May 2015. Devised and designed by Jade Yung Music by Femi Oyewole Performed by Chloe Bishop | Lyndsey Jayne Covell | Jessica Simet | Sally Smithson Supported by Staff of Central Saint Martins | Laurence Dollander | Kerry Huang | Louiseanne Wong.
  • Olas
    OlasOlas is the first production of Casual Sister, a collaborative company formed in 2014 amongst a group of M.A. students at Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London. During a two-month period residence in Spain, Casual Sister worked with actors and producers in Lebrija and Jerez, and immersed in a collaborative process to develop a work of time duration for living inspired by the people of Andalusia. With collaborators from Ecuador, England, Russia, Poland, South Korea, Japan, USA, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Cyprus, Casual Sister made exchanges of ideas, experiences, interests, skills, ways of working, languages, views, to explore the themes of work, travelling, immigration, tourism, memory, dreams and desire. Olas is a multi-media work of video and projections, dramatic arts, contemporary dance, staging, costumes, make-up, lighting design, music and sound, and text that investigating the possibilities with the scene and the narrative form.
  • Ahimsa
    AhimsaAhimsa is a collaborative piece of Odd Company, formed by Jade Yung and Elinor McMahon. Having met at Central St Martins, Jade and Elinor aim to make work which communicates complex ideas about emotion, behaviour and the complexity of human exchange. Ahimsa explores how trauma can effect one's relationship with others. Through a process of experimentation and the sharing of collaborator's experiences, The project challenges and explores the theme of trauma as an emotional reaction to an experience or event - however trivial this experiences may seem from an outside perspective. Ahimsa is an expression of how traumatic experiences can effect behaviour and how one recovers emotionally from this.
