About the Artists

Humanhood is a young, bold and thoughtful company based in Birmingham (UK) and Barcelona (Spain) creating highly physical, intricate and dynamic works taking reference from Physics & Eastern philosophy.

Humanhood creates unique worlds of striking aesthetic and intricate movement patterns. Company founders and duo performers Rudi Cole and Julia Robert have developed a sensibility for synchronicity and interconnectivity which are at the core of their work.

The Company collaborates with an international team of artists, including sound and costume designers,fusing each original element of the production from the first stages, at its highest quality. The pieces offer a rich sonic experience that is developed carefully and thoughtfully with the choreography. Humanhood also works in partnership with Birmingham University Physics and Astrophysics Department, Prof. William Chaplin, to explore the dialogue between science and art.
