A dynamic triple bill of dance.

International choreographers Alice Klock and Florian Lochner of German/ American dance company FLOCK will bring a physically charged and distinctive piece. Taking a unique approach to physicality and storytelling, the piece is set to demonstrate the dancers’ technical skill and explore the idea of latent power within us all.

Anthony Missen, of Manchester-based Company Chameleon, will choreograph a new work that captures the raw physicality of the performers; a piece that illustrates their strength and virtuosity as dancers.

Artistic Director Joss Arnott completes this exciting evening of dance with a brand-new work featuring the full company of dancers. Set to an electrifying new percussion soundtrack by composer James Keane, the ensemble will explore the interplay between movement and music, individuality and states of euphoria.
