This work was performed daily, accruing data and movement, from January 11-16, as part of the exhibition Without You I'm Nothing, curated by Tricia Van Eck.

Following the MCA performances, we were invited to create a new iteration of the work in the Lincolnshire region of the United Kingdom. Inspired by Greek Mythology, former Lincoln resident Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem Ulysses, and the astronomical mechanics of the night sky, the project explored gestures of labour amongst the people of Lincolnshire and was developed through traveling the region and interviewing residents whose stories informed the final performance. Involving an extensive cast of volunteer performers including students, dancers, air cadets, knitters, and church-bell ringers, the project's culmination was presented at twilight on the summer solstice. It began and ended at Lincoln Cathedral, diverging along multiple routes with smaller constellations of performers activating different local sites. The Labours incorporated a real-time celestial map of the sky over Lincoln as a score for its choreographed performance sequences and geo-physical trajectories.

The Labours was commissioned by Nightjar, a program initiated by independent producer Jo Mardell to present temporary artworks between the hours of dusk and dawn. The project was funded by Igniting Ambition, a Cultural Olympiad program curating work in conjunction with the London 2012 Games with support from Legacy Trust UK, the European Regional Development Fund, the East Midlands Development Agency, and Arts Council England.

The project was further supported through residencies and workshops at Lincolnshire Dance, Dance4, Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, the University of Lincoln, and The Choreographic Lab, the University of Northampton
