CROSSING OVER intermedia participatory site-sensitive dance project

Practice/research ongoing project, a co-creation with Dr Jane Munro (RCSSD)

​

Crossing Over is an intermedia site-specific participatory dance project that offers a space to connect cheek by jowl but separate local communities.

 

Reimagined and developed for the Cally Festival 2025, we invite audiences to take part and play with us: to see, to hear, to film, to dance.

To experience the Caledonian Road and walk the green corridor from Barnsbury to King’s Cross – afresh! Then share experiences at the Islington West Library’s basement over a cup of tea, where stories of the Cally are blended with footage taken throughout the event in a unique video installation.

Reviews

… ‘Originally developed from monologues into a full-length piece, Francesca Rose's writing carries a deeply personal and intimate appeal. Sharon Reshef Armony's direction is playful and versatile, using movement, music, and space effectively alongside Gemma Franco's evocative compositions. The production's strength lies in its thoughtful and deliberate pacing, largely thanks to the grounded performances of lead actors Gemma Franco and Nick Delvallé.’ …

Namoo Chae Lee, 17 February 2025 London Pub Theatres Magazine

 

An effective and affecting musical charting the meeting and melting points of a Jewish couple over a period of years… ‘How much is played live and how much fills the room through technical production hardly matters; it is of course all perfectly balanced – thanks to the ‘intermedia performance’ skills of artistic director Dr Sharon Reshef Armony.’ …
