Performer lies draped across a podium in the centre of the image. They are wearing knee pads and something around their middle but nothing else. There are two naked women curled into balls on the floor facing away from the camera and one woman sitting towards the back of the image on a very large black box that takes up half of the image's background. There is a motorbike suspended on the right hand side. Lighting in this image is mostly red with a projection on the backdrop of a twisted dark forest, with tree roots entwined.

New Dimensions Commission

Transform (Leeds), Battersea Arts Centre (London), Take Me Somewhere (Glasgow), Tramway (Glasgow), and Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (Brighton) have come together to support artists who are ready to dream big and create a new work of scale that can tour nationally and internationally.
