The duet “as long as you want” by Sheena McGrandles and Eli Cohen is a choreographic study of lesbian temporalities. The work is inspired by a body of erotic fantasy literature – assembling a cross-temporal arch of female poetic voices. Ancient poet Sappho meets contemporary thinkers such as Anne Carson and Sara Torres, alongside kink and punk practices, including Shibari, gay shadow dance, and pogo. A personal exploration of desire unfolds in a pastel-coloured landscape, developed together with the visual artist Anna Mirkin. It consists of patches of digital renderings and densely knotted denim structures hanging from the ceiling. Together the performers' solo bodies meet and melt in a world of never ending waves, rough play, and figures caught in a horizon of want and longing. Playful and engaging, "as long as you want" is a profound choreographic encounter with an impulse of moving toward someone who isn't yet close enough.
