Passing Between Folds began as a collaborative investigation over five years into the meaning of Home, with particular focus upon intimate hand gestures and the movements of domestic routine.  Devised as a duet between Brixey-Williams and Worth, it takes an expanded view of a relationship that operates both in and out of the locus of home, using as metaphor, the journey of a boat through the landscape.  There is interplay between what is seen and what is heard, and disjunction is used to highlight the uncompromising and unresolved sense of tension between the push and pull of home, and the consideration of intimacy between these two women and their connection to the landscape.
