J Neve Harrington

J Neve Harrington is an artist whose work includes writing, dance & choreography, video, installation, costume and space design. She works mainly in gallery and non-stage spaces where her work prioritises explorations around access, play, agency, confrontation by times/scales beyond the human, neuroqueer experiences of information processing and attention. 

Harrington’s recent works include “SOME TIMES” (2023) and “Satelliser: a dance for the gallery” (2016/21). “Screensaver Series” (premiere 2018, Dance Umbrella London) is a kaleidoscopic dance and sound work which explores a neurodivergent attentional space and has been presented among others at Uferstudios/ PURPLE Berlin, Dance Umbrella UK and Tanz in Winterthur. 

Harrington recently completed a commissioned work storage for future sunsets with Scottish Dance Theatre & V&A Dundee, which is a durational work for the company and their first work for gallery spaces. Other works include among others “UNFRIENDING” (2021, The Place), “good luck dinosaur” (2020, Fest en Fest, London), and Et20l’Été Paris 2019.
