Uprising/The Art of Not Looking Back
Uprising (2006) is a highly-charged work that leaves audiences buzzing, as seven male dancers from Hofesh Shechter Company emerge from the shadows to bombard the stage with furious energy. Set to Shechter's throbbing percussive score, this dynamic production plays with the idea of masculinity, exploring brotherhood and friendship, and is considered by many to be his breakthrough work.
The Art of Not Looking Back (2009) is inspired by and made for the world-class female dancers of Hofesh Shechter Company. Physical, complex and unrelenting, it explores loss and separation and presents Shechter's favoured theme of ?man against the world' in a different and entrancing light. Running time: 1hr 20mins (including one 20min interval)
