Nijinsky's Last Jump - T715725969Nijinsky's Last Jump combines theatre and dance to evoke the legendary 20th century dancer's journey from global success to the desolate isolation of mental illness. As the passionate obsession of the young Nijinsky comes face to face with the searching inner life of the older Nijinsky, this sharp and tender show portrays a poignant intimacy of genius and madness, youth and age, and both the performing and private self. Inspired by the rhythmic obsession of Nijinsky's diaries, Young and Old Nijinsky consider their life together, on and off stage, trying to make sense of the loss of self. | |

Dance Derby - T901736200This powerful and hugely energetic dance theatre production opened to critical acclaim during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013 and now comes to The Brewery, for one night only. The dance marathons of Depression-era America, with strict rules, extreme conditions and ferocious competition, were the reality shows of their day. Attracting huge audiences they could last for weeks on end, with competitors stopping for only ten minutes every two hours to sleep or wash. Ten dancers, two actors and a six-piece jazz ensemble bring this drama to life to a soundtrack of songs from the 1930s, performed by soprano Nadine Livingston.Director Kally Lloyd-Jones.

Dancers combine with life-size rag dolls for this mission impossible...or not?! Music includes: James Brown, Bee Gees, Africando, Crystal Cayle and Debussy.Choreographer Kally Lloyd-Jones. | |
