Anthony Missen and Kevin Edward Turner formed Company Chameleon in 2007. After meeting in 1994 at Trafford Youth Dance Theatre, they trained together at Northern School of Contemporary Dance before working collectively and independently with companies including Scottish Dance Theatre, Mad Dogs Dance Theatre, Rui Horta, Rambert Dance Company, Phoenix Dance Theatr and Henri Oguike Dance Company. Join us for two dance pieces from Anthony Missen and Kevin Turner exploring masculinity and male identity. Before Night Fell, created with choreographer Beth Cassani, looks at friendship, camaraderie and bravery in terms of intimacy, vulnerability, power and manipulation. Meanwhile, Rites charts the passage from childhood, through adolescence into adulthood. Powerful and poignant in its exploration of those events and experiences that shape us as friends, brothers, fathers and sons, the work combines bold athleticism with moments of touching sensitivity.
