ARTISTIC POLICY
Tom Dale Company creates collaborative performance work through dance with the aim of creating a unique and rich form of expression to reach out and excite new audiences. Tom Dale’s style, fuelled by his background in electronic music and investigations into uses of gravity, fragmentation, and sequencing patterns, makes complex use of explosive yet relaxed movement forms, making it highly challenging and a thrill to both watch and perform.

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A captivating journey into a world of dynamic, unpredictable dance with sub-bass music by Shackleton and SION. takes as its starting point the human requirement to explore and experience. (50 mins, no interval. 5 performers, 6 on the road.)
Five hooded figures cut across society to challenge the twitching landscape that sustains and detains them. An assault on complacency, is exhilarating, edgy and beautiful, taking the audience into the heart of our claustrophobic communities. (45 mins, no interval. 5 performers, 6 on the road.)
Lost in their own world, a character's cabin fever and mental loops produce an exhilarating, hypnotic performance. This startlingly expressive work becomes a metaphor for a contemporary state of mind. (15 mins, 1 performer.)
