“The spaces between practice, experience and understanding are fertile ground—sites for exchange and the expansion of choreographic thinking. In collaboration with Weave Movement Theatre, ideas move through a range of diverse perspectives and allow new modes of making to emerge.

While building Flesh Mirror, we’ve built a shared culture—starting each day at the round table, exchanging stories and allowing conversations to meander, jokes to inflate and ideas (especially the absurd ones) to be entertained. Flesh Mirror has evolved from these stories, weaving in references from pop culture to create a layered, often playful reflection on how the speculative imagination can reshape how we perceive ourselves, each other and the world around us.

Throughout the development of Flesh Mirror, we sadly lost Uncle Greg Muir in 2024 — an integral member of the Weave ensemble whose generous energy and ideas have helped shape the work into what it is now. We dedicate this performance to Uncle Greg and his extraordinary spirit.”

- Rebecca Jenson

“This show reflects collaboration and an exchange of ideas between very experienced, diverse Disabled performers and brilliant, contemporary creatives. Disabled performers are shown as multifaceted beings in strong, entertaining and intellectually playful work.”
