BODY (UN)MUTE

Available now

A two-day online festival that looks into the rituals of dancing and masking in times of social distancing. How do these rituals happen in online space? What are the solutions that can empower us and activate our bodies? How do we navigate through this switch between private and public space? What kind of knowledge and ideas can we extract from new media artists and dancers? Together, we will create an online experience that stays part of our memory as festivals do. Last few months, our movements and ways of communicating have been impacted by a global crisis. Distances between our bodies in public and private spaces have been regulated by new measurements. Our freedom of movement is on hold. Dancing became possible only in private, and suddenly it has a different meaning and context. It introduced another form of visibility, “performing” for the web camera on our online meetings, dates, events. In the beginning, it felt weird and awkward, but we are adjusting to it. Now it is time to emancipate the online body and get a deeper understanding of the new realness. It is time to unmute the body.

Grip

Available now

Scattered (2009)

Available now

The first production in our Earth trilogy, Scattered, explores our relationship with water. Scattered has been taking audiences by storm since October 2009, with sell-out houses and standing ovations in venues across the globe. Exploring our relationship with water, and extremely popular with audiences, it is our longest running show to date. Performed on a vertiginous sloping wall, inspired by a quarter pipe, seven performers slide, climb and dive through a magical world where dancers and images interact seamlessly – plunging into an ocean, tumbling down a waterfall and sliding on a frozen landscape of arctic beauty – a remarkable interaction between film and live performance. Capturing the imagination with its spellbinding and ingenious choreography, Scattered is a great family night out.

For the first time ever we're sharing screenings of our Earth Trilogy productions. Charge is the final production in the Trilogy, and premiered at Warwick Arts Centre in 2017. Inspired by the role of electricity in the human body, Charge, our exhilarating multi-media show, is about energy. From the electrical charge that sparks human life, to the beating of our hearts and the memories we make, six performers use dance and acrobatics to delve deep into the human body, tracing the incredible story of energy in our lives. Digital projections create a world on stage where dancers and images interact seamlessly, bringing to life stories of energy in our own bodies and humans as energy manipulators.

1984

Available now

Widely lauded by critics, 1984 is an awe-inspiring retelling of George Orwell's masterpiece choreographed by Jonathan Watkins. Winston Smith lives in a world of absolute conformity, his every action scrutinised by Big Brother. When he meets Julia however, Winston dares to rebel by falling in love. Danced by Northern Ballet - the UK's foremost narrative ballet company - to a score by Tony-nominated composer Alex Baranowski, this thoroughly modern take on 1984 will change the way you think about ballet.
