About
Directed by choreographer Yael Flexer and installation artist Nic Sandiland, Flexer & Sandiland create dance and digital work for theatres, galleries, screens and public spaces.
The company runs an extensive programme of classes, commissions, and workshops for young people in schools and higher education, intergenerational, community, 60+ groups and professional artists. Yael and Nic’s work centres on creating of a sense of intimacy in live performance and digital installation, in a way which acknowledges the physicality and presence of the viewer. Live works blend dynamic and intricate movement with digital technology often using wry humour and text. Installations physically engage the public through digital technology in playful and thought-provoking ways.
“Flexer’s articulate, supple choreography and Sandiland’s imaginative digital installations conjure up the thresholds of what we can or cannot see.”
