ABOUT

BEYOND WORDS is a ground-breaking, dance-theatre company, founded by poet and choreographer Helen Calcutt.  

We present text in ways never-before experienced, holding space for words to learn their physical power.

​

Our work is grounded in story, often tracing the human experience through themes of grief & resurgence, identity & belonging. It is rooted in a movement language of precise gestural articulation, physical dynamism, and ensemble-based staging.

​​

T​​​​​hrough our research, we are committed to the true integration of artistic form. Dance and language have long coexisted, side by side.. We seek a deeper convergence—where text is not merely responded to or experimented with, but articulated through dance. Here, language is second-spoken through the body: movement becomes a mode of expression that revoices text in visual, spatial, and kinetic form.

​​​​​​​​​​​

​Through a unique choreographic vocabulary known as the Hypha method, dancers are brought together through playful & unexpected exchanges to create compelling new modes of physical storytelling that ‘break language’.
