Carol Brown Dances was founded by composer Russell Scoones and choreographer Carol Brown in 1998 whilst the company were in residence at the Place Theatre London.  Now based in New Zealand, the work questions the limits of dance through sustained collaborations with other artists and art forms.

I am the mapwoman, archaelogist of the past, tracing yesterday in today, the contours of the land, the stain of the seawater.  Around you tomorrow emerges, through concrete and steel and glass, the architecture of the future gleaming in the sunlight. But time is vertical and the deep past is in the present.

[1000 Lovers text by dramaturg Fiona Graham]

Carol Brown Dances generates choreography that attends to movement at the intersections between architecture, technology and sound.

Through sustained collaborations with dramaturges, designers, composers and sound artists the work pushes the moving heart against dereliction.
