Political Mother The Choreographer's Cut - T457824117Political Mother was declared an ‘audio visual marvel’ by critics after its run at Sadler’s Wells in 2010. Now it returns, specially revamped for over 30 performers.

Now, Political Mother gets the same treatment. Bringing the atmosphere of a rock concert, and brimming with the gritty and emotional complexity of Shechter's extraordinary dance work, Political Mother - The Choreographer's Cut gives audiences an experience like no other. It will be performed with a live band of over 20 musicians alongside the 12 dancers of the Hofesh Shechter Company. Running time approx. 1hr | |

The Other Seder - T434254000A night of dance, performance and live music which explores and subverts the Seder, the opening nights of the Jewish festival of Passover. Contemporary dance choreographer Hofesh Shechter (Uprising, In Your Rooms and E4’s SKINS) will create a new piece of work, especially for the JCC, around the theme of punishment in the Plagues. Hofesh will collaborate with 6 dancers and filmmaker and animator, Shay Hamias. Performer Joshua Sofaer will also present a new JCC commission, turning the obligation to ask Questions at Passover into a Seder Cabaret. And to finish off the evening, 15-piece anarchic gypsy punk orchestra The Destroyers, compere Judy Batalion and dj Max Reinhardt will set a party vibe to bring down Wilton’s crumbling roof. The Jewish festival of Passover celebrates the release from slavery and the Biblical exodus from Egypt. It is celebrated over 8 days and opens with the Seder which retells the story of the departure from Egypt complete with the 10 plagues. Each year, the story is retold in a set order. This year, Hofesh Shechter and Joshua Sofaer will retell parts of that story through their own artistic adventures. The Other Seder will take the form of an experimental cabaret. It has been deliberately set within Wilton’s, the oldest surviving music hall in the world to enhance this experience.Producer JCC for London. Performer Hofesh Shechter. Performer Joshua Sofaer.

deGENERATION - Fragments/Cult/Uprising - T2113720085Hofesh Shechter is a hugely promising member of the new British dance scene; deGENERATION is a triple bill of exhilarating physicality and nuanced drama with a terrific music score. Fragments is a delicate, intense duet. Cult is a work for six dancers that takes a dark, ironic view of the forces that steer society and ourselves. Finally, against the loud clanking of a harsh techno beat, Uprising explores elements of masculinity, as seven men are pushed to the limit in a wild drive of hope amidst the shadow of despair. | |
