`ON YOUR MARKS`
choreographed by Gary Clarke
Soloist and Ensemble member
On Your Marks takes its inspiration from the Dance Marathons of the 1930s. A new type of live entertainment show that spread across America during The Great Depression. Blurring the lines between theatre and reality, couples competing in the event dance relentlessly for hours, days, weeks, and sometimes months for a grand prize of fame and fortune. Bringing together Clarke`s idiosyncratic theatrical movement style, wry humour and a dash of irony., On Your Marks takes a close look at one of the most bizarre and desperate acts of human endurance.
`INSIDE THE ANIMAL`
- choreographed by Jose Agudo
Duet and Ensemble member
Inspired by the book Sapiens and the evolution of mankind, Inside the Animal is a quest to retrieve our instrincts and move closer to nature. Agudo asks the dancers to play with innate behaviours and the complex patterns and rituals of the human animal. We create our own destiny.
`AYIN`
- choreographed by Ceyda Tanc
Ensemble member
Ceyda produces dynamic contemporary dance works with influence of traditional Turkish folk dance, the dance style of her heritage. Utilising virtuoso movements of male Turkish dancers on female bodies, a unique and driven movemetn vocabulary is created. AYIN draws on inspiration from ritual and the notion that within ritual one searches for love and acceptance, whether that be human, physical or spiritual.
`SUDDENLY WE WERE ALL ALONE`
- choreographed by Noa Shadur
Ensemble member
Suddenly we were all alone attempts to uncover the origins of steps, to er-build the physical score of a society coming into being, carrying its past to update its present, using folklore vocabulary to examine a community`s movement in space and time. Gradually tripping from the collective and historical state to unravel minor, individual movement.
