Thin H/AS H/AIR & The Flock - T0130732931

"Aren't trees the hair of the Earth?" This question was the seed from which the piece grew. While researching the resemblance between human hair and trees, we discovered two beautiful natural phenomena: Itla Okla (a South American air plant), and Hair Ice (ephemeral strands of ice that grow on fallen trees in Northern countries). Examining these two curiosities turned the studio into a laboratory, bringing a scientific lens to our creative space. Slowly, as the piece took root, a journey of a man evolved: from scientist to the spirit of a tree. Originally created for the National Dance Production of Catalonia, Roser Lopez Espinosa's The Flock departs from the fascinating migrations of birds. It unfolds from the desire to fly. It is an adventure to move on together and reach a shared goal: to fly through immense landscapes, through the vast open sky. This mesmerising journey returns us to the animal nature of the body. To effort, tenacity, endurance, teamwork, beauty and the spirit of freedom. An imaginary world of birds and humankind unravels, full of light and vitality. A game of ingenuity to spread our own wings. Should we leave or should we put down roots? The Flock is the big formation of birds that crosses the sky moving as one.

Jo is a descendant of the Wiradjuri people of Western NSW in Australia. She is the founder and director of the Wagana Aboriginal Dancers and has been teaching and performing for over 25 years. Jo says: Aboriginal dance is derived and inspired by everything around us. The earth, the sky, the animals and birds, stories passed down from generation to generation for tens of thousands of years. The movement that comes when I dance feels like an imprint. It's like following a map that I unconsciously know. Imagine being a hunter or being hunted; how do you move without being seen, without being heard? Participants will warm up to the rhythm of the clap sticks, make tracks across the floor and explore contemporary Aboriginal dance.

Yama/Kingdom - T1987030428

Two compelling world premieres from international choreographers performed by Scottish Dance Theatre's exceptional dancers. Expect passion, energy and boundary-pushing dance. Yama - Damien Jalet has been responsible for some of the most revered productions of the last 10 years, including Babel (Laurence Olivier award 2011) and work with Akram Khan, Sidi Larbi Chekaoiu, and a radical re-staging of Bolero with Marina Abramovich at the Paris Opera. In a UK first, Jalet works with revered whitney- exhibited visual artist Jim Hodges to create Yama. This performance created with the dancers of Scottish dance theatre takes as its starting point the mythology associated with mountains and is a mysterious yet visceral metaphor of collective ascension. Kingdom - Spanish choreographer Jorge Crecis presents his risk-taking, playful Kingdom. This piece isn't about a journey, it is a journey. Starting with 52 bamboo sticks, 120 ropes, the company of 10 dancers are challenged to become a group to effectively transform the raw materials into a 6 metre human shelter. Inspired by Cresis's participation in the Madrid Occupy movement, Kingdom is brutal, delicate, political. Age recommendation 11+Choreographer Damien Jalet (Yama).

Second Coming/Winter, Again - T887248011

Second Coming by Montreal-based Victor Quijada draws on movement influenced by the street-dance culture that surrounded him in Los Angeles growing up. A combination of Victor's break movement style and a turntablist soundtrack by DJ/composer Jasper Gahunia (AKA DJ Lil' Jaz) who has scratched classical samples into cavernous soundscapes, results in a fresh, witty piece, tinted with notions of regret, yet full of surprises. Winter, Again, by Norwegian choreographer Jo Str?mgren, cycles through the darkest of seasons, with underlying questions and mysterious happenings underpinned by Schubert's Eine Winterreise. Str?mgren is renowned globally as a choreographer, director and playwright, and draws upon various disciplines to produce powerful, radical dance theatre

We recommend that some of the themes and language used in this work are suitable for people over age of 16. The rest of the progamme contains no less than four short works, some of which celebrate the talent within the company; All in the Grip by Natalie Trewinnard, and Love Games by Joan Cleville along with Drift, an intensely physical piece by James Wilton; and Idan Cohen's animalistic My Sweet Little Fur.

Letters from America/Lay Me Down Safe/Khaos - T0731735018

Lay Me Down Safe is a tender foray into our human inexperience at reckoning with desire and loss. A nuanced dance built for Scottish Dance Theatre’s company members, Lay Me Down Safe collides our desire to stay connected even if it hurts against our need to let go. Drawing on the individuality of each dancer and offering up a sensuous and arresting movement language, Lay Me Down Safe explores whether desire - the experience we follow like a moth to light - ultimately keeps us safe from harm, or places us right in its path. Khaos - Benjamin Levy’s new work for SDT explores a search for balance between deprivation and excess, where the human experience is nourished by the elements that sustain us, and not starved of or suffocated by them.Choreographer Kate Weare (Lay Me Down Safe).

The Life and Times of Girl A/NQR (Not Quite Right) - T909249357

The Life and Times of Girl A - A woman is trying to tell us something important about what is happening now. What she needs is a film crew and a financier, what she's got is a stage and some dancers. A piece about moments of crisis both emotional and financial, when all we need is to use less to say more. Not Quite Right - NQR is an irreverent inquiry into the idea of ‘normality’. It examines our irrepressible eccentricities that defy attempts to fit into the mould. NQR is a chance to look at and think differently about difference. It brings artists often seen as peripheral or outsider into the mainstream of contemporary dance theatre. This work is a three way collaboration co-directed by SDT Artistic Director, Janet Smith, SDT's Dance Agent for Change, Caroline Bowditch and Marc Brew, currently Associate Director Fellow with the company. Marc and Caroline also perform in the work, along with cellist and composer Robin Mason.Choreographer Ben Duke (The Life and Times of Girl A). Design Holly Waddington (The Life and Times of Girl A).
