‘Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past’

A meditation on the nature of time and the way it shapes our lives.
Reflecting on the past, anticipating the future and trying to reconcile them in the present, contemplating how our states of being may be governed, influenced and guided by the passing of time.

This collaboration between Cellist George Cooke and Movement artist Nandita Shankardass explores stillness and speed, energy and status. Western and eastern music and movement disciplines have informed the creation process of the work which is built around choreography, composition and improvisation.

‘We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time’
4 Quartets by T.S. Eliot
