Pact with Pointlessness - T655855040Pact With Pointlessness is a new work by acclaimed performer and choreographer Wendy Houstoun. It is a game of opposites, a play of discrepancies, an urgent text of chaos uninterrupted by disturbing coherence. All at once, it is author and cipher voicing everything and nothing - ghosted by old-time patter, high-altitude confusion, empty dramas, hyperlinked reality, breaking news, more breaking news and meaningless movement. It is an all or nothing kind of event. A do or die kind of affair. Pact with Pointlessness is funny and moving in equal measure, and follows hot on the heels of her highly successful 50 Acts, winner of the 2013 TMA award for achievement in dance and nominated for the Critics Circle National Dance Awards. | |

Keep Dancing - T1261353215UK Premiere. Wendy Houstoun is a dance theatre artist who has developed a distinctive style that combines movement with text, and meaning with humour. In her solo, Keep Dancing, a typist gets waylaid by the act of preparation before finding herself in a loop of action she finds difficult to escape. Keep Dancing is a dialogue with technology and a visual display including fascinating archive footage. Houstoun challenges preconceptions about movement but also communicates clearly and humorously about contemporary culture. In this new work, she re-asserts herself as a performer of integrity and independence. | |

The evening will be a mix of the spontaneous and rehearsed using pieces by writers, dancers and people without job descriptions to deal with the nature of performance itself. Volunteers who would like the chance to participate in the show should phone 0207 921 0852 by Friday 7th June for further details. Inclusion of material or participation is not, however, guaranteed. | |
