‘The world will never understand.’
NOCTURN’s first professional work ‘nomore’ was a raw, dark and disturbing study of Genie, a modern-day ‘wild child’. Until discovered at the age of 13, she had lived in a state of severe sensory and social deprivation.
Captivated by the Emmy Award-winning documentary ‘Genie: Secret of the Wild Child’, John Darvell, as Associate Choreographer for 4Motion Dance Theatre Company, explored a world of robbed childhood innocence and uneasy playfulness using contemporary dance and animation.

FINDING OUR CREATIVE VOICE.
COMBINING CONTEMPORARY DANCE & TECHNOLOGY.
Set to a haunting score by long-term creative partner John Chambers, audiences observed uncomfortable feelings of extreme entrapment, played out by three female dancers and a single ominous darkened figure.
NOCTURN’s first exploration of collaborating mixed media with multiple art forms to set the artistic tone and direction that became our signature style of work.
‘Chillingly, uncomfortable and emotionally textured. An energetic epic piece leaving you with more questions than answers.’Ron McAllister, Chief Executive, South Hill Park
