Inspired by physics, modernist architecture, painter Piet Mondrian, and Merce Cunningham, he founded the Mehmet Sander Dance Company in 1990 which toured internationally. Recent works have been presented at Fierce Festival with workshops at Tate Modern. John Bowers works with modular synthesisers, home-brew electronics, and reconstructions of antique image and sound-making devices, alongside contemporary digital technology. He makes performance environments which combine sound, image and gesture at a fundamental material level and has toured with Rambert Dance Company performing David Tudor's music to Merce Cunningham's seminal piece Rainforest. World Premiere. Animate Objects In Sonic Action is a world premiere of Sanders and Bowers' first collaboration, focusing on their common explorations of time, space and movement.
