Dirty Words - T263482784A music and dance duet with dancer, Grace Clayton (Grace Clayton Dance, Cheap Date) and multi-instrumentalist, Seamas Carey (Kneehigh, Wildworks) created with associate director Kyla Goodey (Trifle Gathering, Kneehigh, Wildworks). A crash landing of self-expression, communication, humour, action and reaction through live music, dance, theatre, and digital media. This visual monologue questions the physical, verbal, facial, tonal, nuanced way we talk to the world. An exploration and debate of music and movement that rebounds, vibrates, clashes, reacts and challenges each other in the same space, just as our words do. Exploring the filth, fun and aftertaste of our everyday interactions. A humorous, intellectual, visceral experience that leaves you contemplating your own individual modes and forms of communication. The work, through the use of subtitles and sign language, explores modes of accessibility to a deaf and hard of hearing audience.Performer Grace Clayton (dancer). Performer Seamas Carey (multi-instrumentalist). | |

How We Lost It - T1579864486How We Lost It is a piece about who we are now, where we've come from and asks what we've lost (and gained) in between. Cheap Date have lost a lot of things: sleep, fear of judgement, social boundaries, a few partners, our youthful good looks, regular menstrual cycles, interest in missionary and a grasp on current affairs. We've got quite good at losing things, and now we know not everything will turn up down the back of the sofa. A coming of age story where we come to terms with the fact that our prince charming might look a little different to the fairy-tale, but hey, we don't need saving anyway. We weave together our own stories about youth, love, sex and growing up, inviting the audience into our narrative and seducing them to revisit theirs. This lip smacking, seam splitting combination of comedy dance theatre is not to be missed! | |
