Dancing Borders is the latest film by artists Zoe Walker & Neil Bromwich marking the start of a collaborative process between the artists and Mobius Dance Theatres. This partnership melds shared sensibilities and energies in a ritual for our times.

Working in response to the context of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland specifically its dark history of Battle, conflict, Siege and Defence. Artists and dancers have joined with the public to re-embody these contested lands with new histories of openness and procreation. The film also alludes to a kind of futuristic ritual with pollination at the focus of human survival.

Dancing Borders begins an episodic narrative ‘Searching for a Change in Consciousness’ this epic quest follows Walker & Bromwich as they journey between fact and fiction engaging a diverse cross section of the population in idiosyncratic events and happenings that re-imagining the world we inhabit and manifest transformation, using their work as a bridge between worlds.

Our work explores the space between what exists and what is possible. Within this liminal space we create objects and situations that lead our audience on transformative experiences inviting them to consider an ‘other’ way of being. Our work crosses between the gallery space and the public realm; we use installation, social sculptures, and public performance as tools to protest and dream; opening up a space where the possible and the actual come together. Here we can collectively begin to question the limits of society and envisage a better world.
