PROJECT O
Movement Directors
Project O (the collaborative supernova between Alexandrina Hemsley and Jamila Johnson-Small) make work that aims to continually address, reevaluate, intervene, comment upon, resist and celebrate the fallout from being born black, mixed and female in 21st Century UK.
In the folding, seemingly endless weight of structural racism (obvious or latent) and white supremacy that has rendered so many invisible and unheard, the politics of Project O are intimate and urgent. They craft choreographic scores and environments to celebrate, challenge and exorcise. Their work is driven by an engagement with dance practices but the creative outcome includes works ranging from shows for theatres to performance lectures, free schools and DJ sets. Project O experiment with alternative ways their bodies can be present and visible (on stage or off), and ways they can be present and visible in our bodies for themselves. One of Project O’s compositional enquiries is around inviting audiences to consider their own shifting positions and identities – an attempt to acknowledge that all are complicit in these systems of oppression.
