Over the last eighteen months I have been developing an architecturally performative project for a new double bill project from Phillip Adams Balletlab titled And All Things Return To Nature Tomorrow. Choreographers Phillip Adams and Brooke Stamp have developed two interconnected performances with a team of collaborators and dancers. For the most part I have worked with Phillip Adams on the Tomorrow aspect with the collaboration producing immense creative research through various means including developmental installations, university student collaborations, field trips and most recently an international residency with Phillip and other collaborators. In short, the creative research aspect has been a brilliant adventure for an architect, exploring a range of design possibilities devoid of a traditional approach of yellow trace and marker pens.
