The evening will open with short Kathak pieces choreographed specifically for Jane by her Kathak teacher, critically acclaimed choreographer and Kathak dancer - Amina Khayyam, followed by the premiere of Void (work-in-progress); an arresting piece, choreographed and performed by Jane; an exploration of expression when faced with a lack of means. 

Search - an evening of solo works choreographed for and by Jane; exploring her identity as a dance artist through the movement vocabulary she embodied through her training and career. It also enquires into Jane’s artistic adventures away from home since her departure in 2006. 

Void (work-in-progress)
An arresting brand-new piece, a continual journey of self-discovery, -recognition and -reflection.
Sensitised by technology and social media, it seems convincing that almost everyone has a voice…
How would expression be when faced with a lack of means? 
How would dance be when faced with a lack of space?
