LIVE JUNK presents fictional scenarios constructed and gathered from real and imagined past lives/ lived experiences. Jo combines her signature movement vocabularies with historical references and saturated symbolism. The performers grapple with the past in the present moment, forming a play without words. Looking at meaning making, how histories are formed, what is occurring in realtime and the nature of ephemerality in live performance.
