The Border Project was born out of a need to: Create work of considerable force and arresting vision. Be informed by tradition but never tied to it. Reject singular solutions. exchange ideas, confront ghosts, strip and re-dress myths, surprise and delight, traverse and transcend borders, invent and re-invent. The Border Project is a contemporary performance ensemble committed to charting the future language of live performance. The Border Project creates performance that can engage and communicate with an audience that traditional theatre has left behind. The Border Project creates work using a performance language that reflects the time and place that we live in- where we are surrounded by the collision of sound and images from videos, pop music, film, television and cyber-media. The Border Project constructs its performances through mashing new and classical texts with film and video, dance and movement, multi-layered live sound, sport, and other materials. They are committed to a unique ensemble practice, giving us a shared history and performance skills, and an equal involvement in the process of creating work.
