Sharp, switched-on dance by a new generation
Three up and coming choreographers fill the stage with drama, dark comedy and design that shines, set to a mix of new music and classic hits.
Be swept along in the warm, soulful vibes of ‘Infinity Duet’, a performance that weaves together dance, sculpture, drawing and sound from choreographer Faye Tan and artist Cecile Johnson Soliz.
Connect with a trio of synchronised, silly and sublime dancers who move perfectly together to music of The Police and Bjork.
‘UN3D’ by Osian Meilir is a joyful watch that will leave you feeling totally in sync.
Laugh-out-loud with John-William Watson’s clever dark comedy ‘Hang In There, Baby’ set during the depths of a New Year’s work party where destiny and a series of bad decisions send the workers into an increasingly surreal spiral.
Infinity Duet
by Faye Tan and Cecile Johnson Soliz
'The sculpture cannot help but yield to gravity, and neither can their bodies.'
Two people deal with weight and time in this warm, soulful duet that weaves together drawing, sculpture, dance and sound in a unique collaboration.
Choreographer Faye Tan and artist Cecile Johnson-Soliz come together with composer Richard McReynolds in a work that sweeps you along with it. Costumes printed with Cecile’s drawings and a large swinging sculpture take centre stage, moving with the dancers as they move with it.
Composer: Richard McReynolds
Costume Designer: Cecile Johnson Soliz
Lighting Designer: Will Lewis

Synchronised, silly and sublime – a trio of dancers move in perfect harmony to a smile-inducing soundtrack of Bjork and The Police.
Featuring moves inspired by synchronised swimming, line dancing and the smooth swaying of the Supremes.
UN3D is a work that champions human connection over timed perfection.
Dressed in stunning satin costumes, the dancers explore the difference between moving together and being in tune as they strive for unity and balance.

Hang in There, Baby
by John-William Watson
“The you of today, but also tomorrow; somehow.”
Richard Life, CEO and Director of Life & Stuff Incorporated
Hang in There, Baby explores our relationship with destiny and decision making. Set in the depths of a new year’s office party this dark-comedy gets increasingly surreal as the relentless monotony of office life dissolves into a ‘pac-man-esque nightmare’.
Blending a sci-fi script, brilliant design and an original score by Adam Vincent Clarke, this genuinely funny and surprising dance urges you to hang on in there, no matter what.
Original Composition and Sound Design: Adam Vincent Clarke
Set & Costume Design: John-William Watson & Joshua Cartmell
