These Horses is a collaborative project begun by Emma Bennett, Lucy Cran and Bill Leslie in 2005.

This collaboration is based on a wish to make work which is immediate and affecting, which has a roughness and an unpredictable excitability, exploiting our shared knowledge and experience. The work is always a coming together of ideas, disparate voices, materials and approaches.

Performance has offered a context in which we have elaborated a process of exploration into cultural practice as diverse as popular dance, music and film, language structures and word play, enactment, self expression and collective action.

By founding our work on a shifting and mutable collaborative relationship These Horses has moved across fields of performance, art, dance, theatre and writing, finding in these various contexts new impetus to explore our ideas and our relationship to a changing audience.

Conceived of and realised collectively our work resists over-determination, is open and mutable. Meaning is generated from relationships, tensions and confluences which demand attention from its viewers and works against simple and stable interpretation
