Without Measure is a performance and research project which places dance in relation to wetlands and the migration of wildfowl. As a project it is building an archive of sound, writings and movement practises alongside the creation of public performances. Their themes are the migration of birds, pilgrimage and the roles of air and water in our shared life on earth. A dance style that is both simple and profound, with echoes of journeying and enquiry.
