“Margarete - The Place & Wilton’s Music Hall
Jo Meredith’s Margarete investigates the tragic heroine of Goethe’s Faust, whom Faust grooms, seduces, impregnates and abandons. Meredith, a choreographer with a growing reputation, works with text created by long-time collaborator Sean Bruno. Using five dancers, she shows us a stylised folk dance set to barrel organ music and the sound of gulls... The result, while already displaying the intensely distilled character of Meredith’s work, is wholly enigmatic, but it’s enough to set the hook. I want, very much, to see the finished piece.”
“Please Wait Whilst We Try To Connect You - Strike! Festival
Wilton’s Music Hall is fast becoming a significant dance venue, with its Strike! festival presenting a compelling mix of new work... Drawing a parallel between online identity and the myth of Narcissus, she presents a male and a female dancer tracked and shadowed by their mediated, auto-manipulated selves.... Meredith is probably the best-kept secret in British contemporary dance. Seek her out.”
