He explores the idea of flow state in performance and how collaboration continues to shape his creative voice. The conversation also highlights Liam’s recent choreographic work A Body of Rumours, a project centred on brotherhood, trust, and support among dancers, and his broader ambition to create a hybrid movement language that transcends traditional boundaries.
