At present, Annette is the artistic director and choreographer of Pneumata. She worked as a freelance choreographer until she formed Pneumata Dance Productions in 1994. Believing that art is essentially the internal state being expressed externally, she finds it fulfilling to prioritise relationships in the company and to encourage a sense of freedom. This includes spending time in the preparation of the artists individually and corporately, working from a place of stillness and allowing space for personal expression. Annette’s hunger to explore new avenues in dance in conjunction with circus, underwater filming and the technical arts in particular, is reflected in the repertoire. She has a home in London and continues to further develop the work of Pneumata.

AL HUNTER ASHTON 

Tribute to an extraordinary man who died suddenly on 27th April 2007 of heart failure. 

Thank you for the best eighteen months of my life. I waited so long for you to come along. Thank you for the love, passion, protection, vulnerability, selflesness, talent, fantastic conversation, wit, laughter and play we shared. You loved so much, including our dancers, and somehow you turned everything we did into a dance. I'll always miss the ever unfolding coincidences, dreams of life from holidays to work together and the special dance you promised on the 28th onwards.What was your big surprise? I'll remember especially those last extra precious weeks together when God began to make sense for you and all that, that meant. And the thing I have to say, only YOU could have got me to love going to football matches! I can't imagine ever going without you. 

We blossomed in the twilight days
When love at last did sigh
And life unfolded both it's wings,
As with God you cried.
Your gentlest heart came home to rest
At last in love's own fold.
Behind you left your body's pain
And torments of the soul.
Now you're with the stars at night,
Wild winds, relentless seas.
My love please know I hear your song
And feel you in my tears...Love Always, your Nettie X
