Maya English — Présomptions de Présences

Maya Matilda Carroll is an independent choreographer, performer, mentor and teacher, based in Berlin since 2004. In the past fourteen years Maya has created over 30 works from solo to extended group pieces. She has collaborated with artists and performers from diverse backgrounds; dancers, visual artists, poets, musicians, actors, opera singers, stage and light designers. Maya has been making dance independently as well as being commissioned to create pieces for state theaters, independent companies and dance academies. Her work is anchored in the meeting point between the tangible and imagined; reality and myth, drawn from and towards the limitless expression of the dancing body. The Instrument was founded in 2011 with composer/musician Roy Carroll. Roy and Maya create work that is unflinchingly sensual, characterised by an almost molecular tactility encountering fantastic viscerality. http://www.theinstrument.org/
Since 2013 Maya collaborates with choreographer and director Julyen Hamilton. She joined his company Allen's Line in three pieces; Goat Ocean, Mud Like Gold and The Light from Beneath Reaches.

THE INSTRUMENT - rhythms and aliveness
Involving grounding techniques with rhythm, we work with our attentiveness, fluidity, action and momentum. Engaging these elements in the process of dance making; opens an awareness to immediate situations, ways of listening, perceiving, visioning. In practice, we will be interacting with a myriad of touch, tempo, proximity and gesture; drawing fascination from the relationship between the dancing body and its environment. The work aspires to develop a sense of musicianship as movers, while taking individual and collective choices - within constellations of instant composition.
