Emma composed the trailer for this piece and she hopes to continue to work with such a evocative boundary pushing company in the future.

"How are we living now? What would we change if we were given just months, weeks, days to live? I’m not Dead, I’m only Sleeping is a dance theatre production which explores the way we choose to live and die. It traverses feelings around death with the longing to live more fully in the moment. The audience follow the lives of four people as they face death (both literal and metaphorical) within their relationships. This tender, provocative new work is about love, devotion, loss, memory and resolution. It talks to the importance of connection at times of adversity and how we shouldn’t wait for death to reignite our relationship with life. A key focus of the work, is how to use a clearer and more accessible narrative than is usual within dance theatre. We think that work is more deeply accessed if we can feel each person’s journey through a tangible story. The work will use movement, text and other narrative devices such as voiceover, evoking the past and present, internal and external. Text will be used to frame scenes and also layered within an original sound score."
