‘Behind the Face of a Rock, Throwing Stones’ instigates a proposition of using the entire body as a listening instrument capable of feeling, touching and seeing the colours and textures of sound, sound in space and silence.

'Behind the Face of a Rock, Throwing Stones', currently exists as a process of choreographic research performed with an experiential understanding of British Sign Language, mindfulness and connectivity that follows Ma (間). When translated from Japanese philosophy, 間 suggests a gap, pause or an interval. 'Behind the Face of a Rock, Throwing Stones', searches for 間 and is performed with the philosophy in mind.
