Fri, 08 Dec 2023 11:57:00 GMT

Pretty incredible to have our little show compete with amazing TV work (The Last of Us is first pick) and be named 2nd best TV show of 2023! It’s wonderful to have the show recognised for its ethos.
.
"Heartstopper" offers something distinct. It's a series about tenderness, vulnerability and leaning into safe spaces. We could all use a little more of this emotional truth.”

TRUMPETS OUT ON NOWNESS

Wed, 04 May 2022 14:02:00 GMT

Under the sensitive eye of cinematographer Simona Susnea, Conte’s fluid movements hint at the emotional root of this film while Namek explores self-expression with raw, explosive energy. Conte, also the film’s movement director, describes the choreography as “an illustration of the push and pull of brotherhood, each dancer embodying the varied traits of the divine masculine.” These themes play out in London’s underground network, the grounds around The Barbican and Southbank. Brooks, who interpreted the performance through a female-gaze, says, “I wanted to observe a non-romantic relationship between two men, with a merciless habitat as their background. These harsh shapes set the context for the visual conversation that the dancers are having about masculinity.”
