Current Accounts is a dance duet that explores, with visceral intensity and humor, the emotional and physical limits to which the workplace can push us. It reflects on the obsession with success, personal sacrifice, loss of identity and the dehumanization within a system that turns life into transactions and ephemeral roles.


Jessica Castellón and Boris Orihuela, choreographers and dancers from Cádiz, blend urban dance, contemporary movement and physical theatre into a hybrid, visceral and narrative style that links the body with cinematic aesthetics. Graduates in Choreography and Performance from the Conservatori Superior de Dansa de València Nacho Duato, they have collaborated with companies such as Taiat Dansa, Cie. Allongé and artists including Dickson Mbi and Candela Capitán. Their works have won awards at Burgos-New York, Premis Òrbita and CortoinDanza. Recognised by the Spanish Network of Theatres, their creations explore identity, physicality and the social responsibility of art.

Joy is an extract from a dance-theatre piece by Dorine Mugisha, primarily aimed for younger audiences using movement and live music. The performance celebrates sisterhood, brotherhood, unpacks growing up with Black hair, explores perceptions of cultural identity both inside the home and out in the world. It’s a mix of raw emotion, playful rebellion, and celebration. Using movement through Krump, House, and Whacking, melded with live violin, the performance invites you to a journey that’s as complex as it is uplifting.

Dorine Mugisha is a multi disciplinary artist, events organiser, project manager interested in themes around identity, belonging, release and body image. Born and raised in France, of Tanzanian heritage, she is based in Scotland and also works on projects in Tanzania. She is inspired by an array of cultures and speaks 4 languages; this informs a lot of her work. Dorine is the founder of Whacking Scotland and Body Movement, passionate about creating opportunities and spaces she wished she had growing up. Her current primary style is Whacking, however she carries influences of Hip Hop, Krump, as well as traditional & contemporary African dances.

​In Endless Edge is a new dance work in development for two dancers.

A work centred around the concept of desire - the desire between two bodies to listen deeply to physical and choreographic longings and to say yes to and give in to movement impulses, rhythms and textures that are rumbling under the surface.

In Endless Edge considers the two bodies as edges - edges where physical desires are never fully realised, edges where endless space and flow start and end from and edges where everything and nothing happens between. It will explore the spaces between bodies and people, the things that go unsaid and unexpressed between people and bodies and the endless search for clarity, communication and connection when two edges meet, or don't.

“two people in a room, 2022” is a duet that portrays two individuals and their story together. Positioned in one space they explore an awkward way of being in close contact, sharing intimacy yet so distant. What are they for each other: friends, siblings, lovers? It is as if they no longer see each other. Something is lost, broken. What has happened to them, and will they find each other back?

During the duet, the story between them will start unfolding by itself: movement, partnering, dialogues, and gestures. Two people, their shared-story and the broken parts of it. The inspiration for this piece comes from the intimate relationships of characters from movies by Aki Kaurismäki and Wong Kar- Wai, and the everyday stories of relationships told and experienced by strangers and closed ones, like in the book by Haruki Murakami: “Men without Women”. Furthermore, it is inspired from photographs of the Magnum Photo Collective, which shows us humans in our daily life. The makers aim to tell what is beyond words through nuances of movement and gestures.

We believe that our lives are a constant exchange of interactions with others: we live for the shared experience of it. With this piece we want to emphasise human relationships and their importance in our existence. We are co-dependent from each other and we evolve together through communication, dissonance and agreeing to disagree.
