CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A contemporary study by Tanja Liedtke of Les Sylphides, the first abstract classical ballet without narrative structure or defined characters. Dynamic, extreme, athletic, danced on a magical mirrored floor. (16 mins, 5 on stage, 7 on the road.)
By Rafael Bonachela. A hybrid of classical and contemporary technique, this work is abstract and relentless whilst tender and precise. (22 mins, 5 on stage, 7 on the road.)
Solo work for David Hughes by Siobhan Davies. A modern take on Nijinsky’s Les après midi du une faun (dancer). A study of stillness, the solo is technically controlled and soft. (10 mins, 1 on stage, 3 on the road.)
Duet by David Hughes – a game between two men, one Harley Davidson and a scooter! It is a playful, cheeky and tender work incorporating breakdance and contemporary disciplines. (10 mins, 2 on stage, 3 on the road.)
FUTURE PRODUCTION
(untitled) By Scottish theatre maker, Al Seed, being created early 2008, using abstraction, animal movement-vocabularies and playfulness to expose some of the mechanics of our everyday physical lives and to explore the discourses on hierarchy, power, gender, and belief-systems that they raise.
