ARTISTIC POLICY
Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion are interested in the delicate boundaries between music and dance. Their performances combine a love of formality with an openness towards audience, which provokes laughter as well as listening. It is hand-made, human scale work.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion have created a performance that dances in your head. It's superb.' De Morgen, Belgium ()

‘Absurdist self-indulgence you'll be thinking, but what you see is revelation and joy.’ The Evening Standard ()

‘By now we ought to be accustomed to the surprises the wry, spry and elegant pairing of Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion keep springing on us, but somehow we're not; they've always got an extra rabbit in the hat to take us unawares. With Speaking Dance there's a whole family of baby rabbits in that roomy hat.’ Ballet Magazine ()
