About RESOLUTION 26: Siyu Lu, Damara Velázquez and Evie Longstaff
《界·流》Interface
《界·流》Interface invites the audience into a shifting space where softness and structure coexist. Through the interplay of translucent silk and delicate wire, the dancer’s body drifts between visibility and concealment—caught and released, defined and dissolved.
Movement flows like breath across invisible borders, suggesting both confinement and freedom. The piece reflects on how boundaries - physical, emotional, and perceptual - are never fixed, but are constantly in motion.
You are invited to witness a body becoming landscape, a presence that ebbs and returns, tracing the quiet tension between fragility and resilience.
About Siyu Lu
Siyu Lu is a London-based dance artist whose practice unfolds between structure and fluidity, presence and disappearance. Rooted in intercultural movement language, her work explores transformation, constraint, and release through the body’s dialogue with space and material.
Drawing from both Eastern sensibility and contemporary form, she examines how boundaries shape identity and how movement can dissolve them. Her choreography often exists in a state of tension, between visibility and obscurity, fragility and resilience, inviting audiences to witness moments of becoming rather than arrival.

Transmission: Incomplete
Error 404: Communication not found.
This solo begins where connection fails — when words, voice, and signal collapse, and only the body remains. It explores what happens in the absence of language, when the human form becomes both sender and receiver, source of meaning and source of life.
The movement material emerges from the gestures of Mexican Sign Language, deconstructed and reconfigured until communication itself starts to break down. Each motion becomes a fragment of a message — incomplete, human, urgent.
Through light and shadow, silence and pulse, Transmission: Incomplete inhabits that fragile space between expression and error, where misunderstanding becomes the most honest form of connection.

Order Knows Its End
This work by Evie Longstaff explores the concept of entropy: the natural tendency of systems to move from order to disorder.
Entropy explains why sandcastles collapse, relationships unravel, and hot things cool. But the breakdown of structure isn’t failure – it’s inevitable. Through movement, this piece questions our preconceptions of chaos and order. What do they truly mean? How do we recognise them? And what might they look like?
What unfolds on stage is an exploration, not of answers, but of possibilities.
