Each asks with all that she is. In duet the women age the body, expand it, injure it. They change. The dance dwells in an ecosystem of seasonality, a rhythm of work that allows the women to persist in unsentimental relationship to the earth. Meanwhile, they don’t have to take care of each other – but they do. The Difficult Comedown is interested in shared resilience and the labour of women. It considers a new epoch beyond the Anthropocene, past human predominance on earth. Borne of long-embodied knowledge, and compelled by wilfulness, this is performance from the ground up: an immersion in slow change.

A work made half way through recovery from a debilitating injury - able to move, unable to 'dance'. Caught. A solo underscored by questions of 'enoughness', inadequacy, expectations of resilience and the impossibility of that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443949401960-MRQ5HEOJYD0DOYY6KIYH/Jodie.jpg Recent Works - Babylon 1. The others Upholster my very cheer, go on, that's what we are waiting for smear it in a black that's blacker than black because out that window, as the moon faces crack a thought, it all seems so painful maybe they will sit on this settee alongside me soil their linen pants because the black always rubs off that blacker than black 2. Pin hole mercy the surface seemed so complete one big lick with the tongue and the whole thing was covered nothing left behind, nothing new ahead save one small mercy poking through infinite sounds like disco, and that always make the rhythm simple cause everything is trying to understand the human spirit with endless chatter give em a steel strap 3. Babylon first there were wooden ones now they are metal and wave in the wind, hello those monstrosities that poke through the ceiling of sense looking for love maybe, or a face to cover their own a big mask, horny like a goat's or troglodyte's but if we go flat, parallel even scoop up all the slack, smother it dead maybe, we can hold hands and shimmy to the little tat, tat, tittle toast the hosts of our own stupidity   Text by Dr Jodie Mc Neilly and Paea Leach and integrated as a type of 'choral singing' into the sound score. A collaboration between Dr Jodie McNeilly, classical composer Adrain Kingwell and Paea Leach.

We worked with sensorial immersion and the spectrum of extremes able to be touched in the body with this as the focus. We worked with being honest, 'radically present', and awash with one's own sensorial scores that accumulate and disappear or empty out. What remains when you are touched too much? Can the body be thrown? What is the sensation of everywhere at once? http://www.paealeach.com.au/projects daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443958670934-06S7VK6MNIS4UU9IRDAO/image-asset.jpeg Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443954091402-W02WXTYGQU3N574KVCAZ/image-asset.jpeg Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955477714-957DOQIEOPU6CJRS8QS8/IMG_8117_.JPG Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955500909-VEBUFEVGTHYLD2B9WAEJ/IMG_8223_.JPG Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955703493-9KJBOSWZTO9XDHR0X5KE/IMG_8247_.JPG Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955740218-IA6SWUFX6UU09R7RZP18/IMG_8302_.JPG Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955802657-XFO05N1STKP343RZ4L5O/IMG_8272_.JPG Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1443955818297-0T4PLF3OJYGW30H8YYVK/P1257180.jpg Dance Practices https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f7b2a5e4b07229ccbc7e74/1444639004662-YEE2DHOW52VJNN4ZEJOE/divided-invite.jpg Dance Practices - divided Choreography Jo Pollitt, Perth 2013.
