State of Emergency
Thu 9th February 2012
A collaboration between UK based producers, State of Emergency and South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma of

places, united through a shared history of the rocks on which they stand.

“The choreography resonates with ancient traditions, belief systems and mythologies.”

SKIN (2)
From the makers of Hotel Medea
Fri 30th March 2012
A sharing of processes which started with the title of a Sarah Kane work called SKIN. The project takes the idea of skin as its jumping-off point to delve into the company's interests in technology and intimacy; skin as a container holds all our blood, guts and innards together without which we would spill out onto the floor. The project aims to work with the redemptive power of love and how each of us has the power of forgiveness as well as the capacity of great cruelty.

Clare Teal
Hey-Ho
Thu 17th May 2012
Clare’s inimitable humour and banter are mixed perfectly with uplifting ballads and up-tempo classics, old and new. Although rooted in the jazz tradition, the show covers a huge spectrum of sounds and genres. From Try A Little Tenderness, to an uplifting New Orleans take on Ray Noble’s Love Is The Sweetest Thing, and a blistering samba arrangement of Moloko’s Sing It Back with Latin percussion; it is to Clare’s credit that all these songs from such wide-ranging eras sit alongside each other so comfortably.
