Production Details / Press Releases
Leah Marojević and Temitope Ajose-Cutting are N.I.PS (Nuns in Paradise). They are interested to employ the mythology of the Siren as a departure point for a dramaturgy that will direct their voices and their bodies. By working with modes of seduction, calling, dominating and devouring, Leah and Temitope will work to develop a singular body that can become a fictitious conduit for transfiguration and haunting.
Leah Marojević is a dance artist whose practice spans performance, choreography, dramaturgy, mentorship and support for other artists. Leah is now based between Berlin and London. Her developing choreographic practice is interested in intimacy, fantasy, and sadness. Choreographic commissions include Sydney Dance Company (2019), London Contemporary Dance School Graduating Season (2020), Mass Hysteria Collective (2020) and Matilde Cerruti Quara, Jupiter Woods (2020). Leah collaborates regularly with Colette Sadler among a number of visual artists, companies and choreographers based in the UK, Europe and Australia.
