ARTISTIC POLICY
Luca Silvestrini’s award-winning Protein takes everyday issues and subjects them to a deep, witty analysis through idiosyncratic and distinctive dance theatre. Powering the approach is a desire to connect theatrical experience with familiar life stories. The result is work of humour, pathos and invention which reflects the integrity and absurdity of its ingredients.
REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Dear Body stands up to be measured well against any dance theatre work I’ve seen in recent times. I hope and trust that it doesn’t end here.’ www.ballet.co.uk
‘Their most ambitious, pointed and controlled work to date… bulging with sharp and witty scenes.’ The Times ()
‘Luca Silvestrini’s surreal, cartooning wit finds its ideal subject… The performers are very good, especially Sally Marie as the therapist’s victim.’ The Guardian
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Protein balances the promises of an online life and the complexity of real relationships, to put love, wanting and connectedness centre-stage dissects the effect of electronic communication on our relationship attitudes, uncovering the potential for an evolutionary shift in the way we live, love one another and belong to society in general. (60 mins, no interval, 6 on stage, 10 on the road, contains sexually explicit material.)
WRAP-AROUND
With everyday life at the heart of everything it does, Protein places a priority on its engagement with the public outside the auditorium as well as inside. Protein is interested in dance as therapy or as a tool for social inclusion. The company works with all client groups regardless of ability or age and has a particular interest in cross-generational projects.
