In 2025, Sanctuary is pleased to be offering producing support to music artist BOBBIE in their research and development into their new performance piece ‘UNFOLD’.
Call Out for Dancers
'UNFOLD’ is a performance project created by BOBBIE, evolving from a music project into a multidisciplinary theatre piece that follows an inner world unfolding, peeling back the layers of the unconscious emotional space and exploring the integration of a trans identity and complex trauma. BOBBIE’s experimental, electronic, pop, and cinematic music forms the foundation for emotionally raw, embodied movement, creating an immersive audiovisual experience.
The project draws heavily on therapeutic frameworks such as Internal Family Systems, Gestalt therapy, and somatic practices. These perspectives treat the body as a container for emotional memory, and the work of UNFOLD explores how fragmented aspects of the self can be recognised and nurtured, allowing each memory, feeling, and bodily sensation to be experienced and integrated into a whole self.

If the project resonates and you feel this is something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a paid opportunity including any travel, accommodation or additional access needs.
R&D Dates: Monday 15th - Friday 19th September 2025
Application deadline: Sunday 6th July 2025 23:55

They gained a 1st class BA Hons degree in Audio Production in 2019 and have since been producing and writing experimental pop music collaborating with artists and songwriters such as Brooke Candy, 8485, Rebecca Black, Cecile Believe and Jessica Winter. Bobbie has also composed music for theatre productions including ‘Compete for Me’ by Lewis Walker (Resolution Festival 2024) and provided additional music for ‘Who Hurt You?’ by BULLYACHE (2023-24). Additionally, they contributed music and dramaturgy to the development of 'Sam the Sword' by Drew Taylor-Wilson.
Now, with an evolving creative practice, they integrate their histories and blend art forms to create deeply personal work. Music production and composition continue to be the foundation of their work while incorporating visual arts, storytelling, theatre, and dance to expand the music into immersive worlds and create visceral experiences. Their work is heavily informed by living with Complex PTSD and navigating a trans/non-binary identity, incorporating their experiences of trauma-informed, emotion-focused therapy and placing healing at the core of their art.
With a constantly evolving creative vision, Bobbie embraces vulnerability and authenticity to nurture a space for themself, collaborators, and audiences to explore the depths of their emotions and identities.
