EXODUS
DANE HURST
Dancer and choreographer Dane Hurst, a graduate of Rambert School and Central School of Ballet, returns to Dulwich Picture Gallery following two sell-out shows last year with Exodus, a new commission inspired by Winifred Knights’ The Deluge.
Capturing the experiences of the characters depicted in The Deluge and reflecting Knights’ meticulous working method, Exodus traces the movement and narratives of groups captured within The Deluge through individual vignettes to be discovered by the audience throughout the Gallery spaces. The piece culminates in an apocalyptic climax running down the Gallery’s central enfilade.- LCDS
UNBELONGER
Film
'Beyond the Artifice, Lies your True Self'
Unskin is a provocative short film by Elcid Asaei. The project fuses contemporary dance with narrative film, in a mythology-inspired story that explores the dehumanising effect of a material world on social, race, and gender identity, in increasingly divisive times. The story will explore and deconstruct these stereotype facades through the medium of the moving image and dance.
Severine is cast as the role of an alien mortal - 'hipster female'.
In a materialistic world of artificial identities, a storyteller unleashes a mysterious God-like being who abducts alienated mortals and leads them through dance to shed their artificial masks and embrace each others' common humanity.

The Ugly
Philip Halmarack
SHORT FILM, PILOT FOR TV SERIES
2018
In this 8 part miniseries, Frank finds the mute and emaciated Agnes buried in a ditch and carries her back to his lair in the woods. Devoid of any social skills he hopes to keep her as his own, away from the world. But life has other plans for the pair. Continually harassed for the way they look, Frank fights a losing battle to keep Agnes safe.
Set at the start of the twentieth century, The Ugly charts the inevitable disaster of their rise to power.
"The Ugly slowly twists to become a wholly original and compelling thriller. Totally gripping."

Times have changed and so has fashion, today we celebrate Androgyny & the influence it has on today's society. The title "Uncharted" which means unexplored, resonates with this new series which explores both feminity & masculinity in clothing hence from now on the #BHUMEHL aesthetic will endeavour in making this signature applicable to the coming collections.
