Lake Studios Berlin

Into the Deep is a multidisciplinary performance research project by Perth-based theorbo player and composer Matthew Jones and choreographer Talitha Maslin. The work inhabits the threshold between sound and movement, investigating the aural and kinesthetic dialogue between contemporary dance, theorbo, interactive electronics, and paper as both material and collaborator.
Paper functions simultaneously as image, instrument, and question. It evokes natural phenomena — constellations trembling in distant space, leaves relinquished to gravity — while inviting reflection on sustainability, utility, and cycles of consumption and renewal. Through this fragile medium, the performance explores tensions between strength and delicacy, permanence and disappearance, control and unpredictability.
Talitha and Matthew will explore this collaboration remotely between Berlin and Perth.
