Impostor is an internal dialogue, a conversation with an alter ego, imaginary or apparently real. It´s
an examination of what we consider our inner demon and how it colours a perception of ourselves.
But it also asks if perhaps there is no devil or third person and that we´re only considering or
acknowledging our flaws or darker side of self. 
And from here we journey on, towards a concept of non-dualism and the ways in which we perceive
good and evil. It becomes an exercise in contemplation and observation, a meditative piece where
the struggle for balance is the goal in itself. And perhaps the intention is simply this, an illustration
or portraiture, an observation without judgement and a journey to find equilibrium or even peace.

THOMAS NOONE is a dancer, choreographer, stage director and teacher. He has been in the world of contemporary dance for over 20 years creating and directing more than fifty works in alliance with musicians, set designers, dancers and visual artists. He has created works on all scales, for the stage and for the street, for adults and young people, working with film and live music and also branching out into puppetry and object theatre. After years of investigation into movement and how to share this passion with others, he has come to a practice called Conscious Reduction that has been developed with his Barcelona group. This tool has proven very useful not just for the company but also facilitates sharing ideas both with other professionals and for those who are not initiated in dance at all. His company is an associate artist of the SAT! Teatre, in Barcelona, where he reciprocates collaborating as programming consultant for its dance program and seeking out other activities including projects of support for other dance artists in Catalunya and audience development in Sant Andreu.

Working alongside Thomas Noone in this project will be Alba Barral as choreographic assistant, Andre Mello creating the puppet-sculptures, Marc Lleixa designing light and Jim Pinchen composing the soundscape. Alba Barral brings her years of experience not only as a dancer with TND but also in recent years as rehearsal director, creative collaborator and external eye. Andre is a master craftsman who created the puppet for the After the Party, as well as the fantastical animals of TND’s recent children’s show: “The Cat Who Wanted to Change her Tale”. Marc Lleixa contributes an extensive knowledge of LED light and mapping. Jim Pinchen habitually creates rich sound textures that fully understand and support the movement.
