Jo invites you to a two-day workshop at

Y Plas, Machynlleth

7th and 8th Feb 2026

Sat & Sun 10am – 5pm

I like this phrase “We are consenting to explore the unknown”

What does it mean to bring people together?

Movement is my first language, I dance as a way to relate to people, to communicate or begin to understand perspectives. I work with people, bodies, histories, dreams, differences…whole lives. It is constantly evolving, I am learning and un-learning. I am practicing being with people.

My work has led me to questions about What is Community? What does diversity look like? Can the body tell us something about consent? What are the positives around uncertainty or the unsolved?

In terms of choreographic languages, I draw on a wealth of influences  from somatic and improvisation techniques, self-generating prompts and tools or games that explore relationships with our bodies, spaces between people, play and working with objects.

Jo Fong is an award-winning director, choreographer and performer working in Dance, Theatre, Film and Live Art. She lives in Pontypridd and her creative work reflects the need in these times for people to come together. Her artistic practice is an evolving, collaborative approach which puts ideas around belonging or forming community in the forefront.

Some recent highlights include collaborations with artist Sonia Hughes; Nettles: How To Disagree? presented at OFFTA, Montreal 2025, Neither Here Nor There was presented as part of Wales in Edinburgh. Sonia and Jo led on a number of film, digital and walking projects called What Will People Need?, The Sun’s Come Out, Come Rain or Shine, and To Tell You The Truth for Dublin Theatre Festival.

How Shall We Begin Again? was presented at Wales Millenium Centre 2023 and Siobhan Davies Studios London 2022, Ways of Being Together at Chapter Arts Centre 2019 and Shoreditch Town Hall 2020. A Brief History of Difference was created with DAR of Das Clarks. Sons and Mums was created with Everybody Dance in Malvern, a beautiful collaboration with 6 men who have autism and their mums.

Jo is currently contributing to research with a number of projects; IcoDaCo European Collectives project, The Choreography of Consent and The Agency of Matter together with artist Deborah Light.

And in January 2026, Jo will be heading to New York’s Under The Radar festival with The Rest Of Our Lives which was created in 2019 with clown and circus artist, George Orange and their 100th performance will be in Pontypridd this February.
