PanGottic/Anders Duckworth/Defracto - T0608381010Long Shot - Long shot (noun): an attempt or undertaking that offers much, but in which there is little chance for success. Using circus, handcrafted contraptions and the audience's guidance, PanGottic bring to life one man's belief in the near impossible, the almost unachievable and the highly unlikely. Fingers crossed... Projected - Two characters have emerged from the world of celluloid. Seeing their projected memories realised unearths questions of what is 2D or 3D, fantasy or reality. A collaboration between Anders Duckworth and sound artist Chris Edwards, Projected draws inspiration from our brief relationship with the celluloid image and our ability to understand a string of still images as a real universe. Flaque - In Flaque, Defracto wittily illustrate their passion for juggling, treating it as a rhythmic discipline that flirts with dance and absurd humour. Precise, flexible and virtuosic, they display dazzling vitality. Bodies fall more often than balls do and the aim of catching is the impulse for any move. This is juggling as it should be; challenging, fresh, raw and full of finesse.Company PanGottic (UK - Long Shot). Choreographer Anders Duckworth (UK Projected).

Currency 3: Tabea Martin + Alma Sderberg - Duet for Two Dancers/Travail - T1946249137Tabea Martin's Duet for Two Dancers takes a look at the anxiety of not living up to your own expectations, or those which your profession or society imposes.

She is supported by Dansateliers Rotterdam and Het LAB Utrecht.

Alma Soderberg is from Malmo in Sweden. She studied classical ballet and a few years dancing flamenco in Spain before training at the School voor Nieuwe Dansontwikkeling (SNDO) in Amsterdam. Your ticket for this event includes the performances, dinner, and a pre-show sharing and discussion with Frauke Requardt and Alessandro Sciarroni. | |

Currency 1: Jan Martens + Jefta van Dinther -A Small Guide on How to Treat Your Lifetime Companion/GRIND - T708998031In A small guide on how to treat your lifetime companion a couple stuck in an unspecified, four metre square space (perhaps an elevator, a kitchen, a cellar or a caravan) dance a modern mating ritual. Without leaving each other's sides, Jan Martens and Steefka Zijlstra beautifully illustrate five key moments in a relationship. In this revealing snippet of two people's lives, the couple manage to exclude the outside world for 30 minutes before it inevitably forces its way back in again. Jan Martens has created a piece about love in a tender and intimate performance that is both comforting and confrontational. Jefta Van Dinther's GRIND is a collaboration between choreographer and dancer Jefta van Dinther, lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen and sound designer David Kiers. Inspired by synesthesia, the performance seeks to challenge our grip on reality by suspending our senses and shortcircuiting perception. With pulsating, cutting, flickering lights and the unrelenting beats of dark, loopy techno, GRIND suggests a place where the components of body, light and sound blend to affect, confuse and move. Your ticket for this event includes the performances, dinner, and a pre-show sharing and discussion with Eva Recacha and Jan Martens. | |
