CYMATIX | Caroline Fraser (Lady C)

CYMATIX is a powerful exploration of the intersection between sound, movement, and emotion. Drawing from the concept of Cymatic Phenomena—the study of visible sound—this dance piece invites audiences into a world where sound is not just heard but seen, and movement is not just felt but interpreted as sonic texture.

Through a seamless blend of Popping, Animation, and Waving, choreographer and performer Caroline ‘Lady C’ Fraser creates a deeply moving and immersive experience, intertwining recorded and live vocal performance to heighten the connection between body and sound. CYMATIX becomes more than just a performance—it's a visceral journey that embodies the tangible connection between music and the human experience.

FLUX | Elie-Anne Ross

As a woman evolving in street dance, Elie-Anne Ross has been practicing popping for over 15 years. She was introduced to this funk style—rooted in African-American culture and characterised by muscle contractions, isolations, and illusory movements—in 2006.

FLUX is an immersion into the stream of consciousness, a space where body and speech intersect to challenge internal patterns. This project takes on a new dimension, opening a dialogue between individuality and the polyphony of the group.

Elie-Anne Ross explores both the form and content of the stream of consciousness and its interaction with the body. She is particularly interested in themes of mental health and body reclamation.

In this reinterpretation of FLUX, she seeks to translate key elements of popping—its relationship to time, isolation, and the dynamic between control and surrender—into a broader choreographic language. Rather than becoming poppers, the dancers integrate principles of the style to enrich their own physicality and movement expression.
