Mould With Me is a dance performance and interactive installation that moves through cycles of resilience, transformation, and decay. The piece draws inspiration from fungal networks - decentralised, non-hierarchical, and self-organizing systems where any node can connect to any other. Rather than following a central authority or linear structure, the choreography unfolds as a living network - fluid, relational, and constantly evolving. The work explores what it means to unlearn control and surrender to processes of change. Through choreography, sound, and reactive visual environments, the audience enters an ecosystem where bodies, matter, and time continuously decompose and reform, as a reminder that life thrives in the act of becoming.

“Anastasija’s “Mould With Me” is a genre defying work that transcends movement.She has achieved something really remarkable by being the brain in this interconnected universe of players, all so individually talented in their own right. You’re immersed from the moment the lights dimly call attention to the dancers and the accompanying sound design relentlessly pulls you deeper into the soil.” 
— Proxy, visual artist and performer

“Mould With Me is a beautiful performance that transports you out of the present moment and into a universe magically created by choreographer Anastasija Olescuka and her amazing dancers.Visually, the piece is carefully composed, and just as you begin to sink into its layers of sound and movement, it draws you even deeper into a mesmerizing visual landscape. The soundscape by Turkman Souljah & Damon Frost resonates through the body, awakening a physical response as you witness the unfolding movement of this universe. It touches something deeply human, while at the same time inviting reflection on life beyond human society and guiding you into the subtle, often unseen world where mould exists and thrives.  What a beautiful world to be drawn into.” 
— Diana Wehbi, culture and event curator
