After Love (2021 / 2023)

After Love is an intimate contemporary dance work directed by Laura Sheeran, exploring the emotional residue left behind when love ends. Moving through tenderness, rupture, memory and quiet resilience, the piece focuses on what remains in the body after intimacy dissolves — gestures remembered, absences felt, and identities reshaped. Blending choreographic precision with a strong atmospheric and emotional sensibility, After Love invites the audience into a private interior landscape of loss and transformation.
