The Press
“An athletic, sensory, playful collaboration… It throbs with highly controlled, technically difficult
dance (from ballet to breakdance).”
- CASTILLO, Leila Lois, ArtsHub
“The overall effect of watching the show was thrilling and existential, gaping at the physical prowess
of Castillo dancing en pointe in the first segment, with feline animation in the second and smooth
urban acrobatics in the final part. The physical and emotional dexterity of the performance was
astounding, as a wide variety of styles and emotional registers filtered through Castillo’s body,
rippling over the audience like bullet time.”
- CASTILLO, Leila Lois, ArtsHub
“The synergy between the maker and the dancer, in the opening eight-minute film, and the
choreographer, Lang, and the performer Jana Castillo in Castillo is not dissimilar either. Lang is
interested in exploring the ‘taxonomy of touch and texture through the lens of choreography and
neurodiversity’ and is doing so by inviting us to look at three different types of footwear: pointe
shoes, socks, and sneakers.”
— Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
Castillo is Lang with Castillo, not for. And the emphasis on the ‘with’ is felt. Together they have
shaped an “innovative visual-musical journey that celebrates physical intelligence and difference
and stimulates new perceptions of the dancing body.”
— Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
“I see the shoes as a glorious extension of her movements as Castillo in turn appears almost in
conversation with them… I see her teetering between being in control of the movement and
seemingly led by the shoes themselves.”
— Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
“This is what the ringing notes of a Bellbird might look like as they cascade through the human
body. Castillo traces their gentle procession through her limbs, one hand hovering just above the
sound as it chimes its way through her body. I picture a furry green energy, imperceptible to the
human eye.”
— Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
“Castillo’s movements in the third response are playful, performative, and nostalgic… making her
limbs liquid one moment, robotic the next, and a warm smile takes over her face. The audience
whoops and cheers.”
— Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
“A multivalent world of immanent relationships, environmental immersion, and sensory
immediacy.”
POESIS - Gracia Haby, Fjord Review
“A work exploring sensory perceptions of animals and humans through the lens of counterpoint.”

Prue Lang
Prue is an Australian choreographer based in Paris.
She was for many years a leading soloist with William Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt and The Forsythe Company, and has developed a distinctive choreographic voice grounded in physical intelligence and experimentation. Her work has evolved
through a deep engagement with the body, drawing on her extensive experience across ballet, contemporary dance, somatic practices, and improvisation. Prue draws on sensory ecology, neurodiversity, biomimicry, philosophy, feminist thought, and environmental ethics to continually expand her choreographic language.
Since establishing herself as a choreographer, Prue has created works through collaborations with artists across disciplines for stage, film, galleries and museums.
Her work has been presented throughout the world, including Théâtre de Chaillot (Paris), Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, Mains d’Œuvres (France), TATE Modern (London), Tanzplattform Deutschland, HAU (Berlin), Mousonturm (Frankfurt), Tanzhaus NRW (Düsseldorf), STUK (Belgium), Transart (Italy), Kalamata Festival (Greece), REDCAT (Los Angeles), NGV Triennial, Sydney Dance Company, Carriageworks, Adelaide Festival, Arts Centre Melbourne, Dancehouse, and Dance Massive (Australia).
Prue created numerous works for Frankfurt Ballett, including Intervenus, ScreenPlay, Infinite Temporal Series and Uncharted.
In Australia, she has worked with Chunky Move — Infinite Temporal Series (re-creation); Leigh Warren & Dancers, Rubicon; numerous works for Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne and more recently Lyra for The Australian Ballet School. For Sydney Dance Company, her creations include Towards Innumerable Futures and The Language of Poppy.
She has also been commissioned by Germany's MDkollektiv Köln — Timepiece and Zaurak. Earlier in 2026, she created Viventium for the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris.
Prue has received international recognition for her choreographic innovation and artistic vision. Her honours include Ballettanz Critics’ Survey awards for Most Outstanding Dancer, Most Outstanding Choreographer, and Most Innovative Production; the Prix Ars Electronica for Hybrid Art; multiple Green Room Awards for Choreography, Design, and Best Ensemble; and an Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship.
In 2026, Prue was appointed Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
