Daina Ashbee’s radical works sit at the edge of dance and performance. Still only in her early
thirties, she has garnered major awards and critical acclaim, and her bold, utterly unique
creations are shown all over the world. We learned a lot at our own funeral is a compelling new
solo performed by B-Girl Momoko ‘Momo’ Shimada which probes the notion of death.
Enveloping the audience in a potent sense of ritual, it evokes a battle with the self: the dancer
challenges gravity, resists the ground, overcomes precarious balances. Finally, only the echo of
the body, of its strength and fragility, remains.
