What's On

Formation Series

development | collaboration | partnership research | engagement | dialogue

We strive to support and develop a safe environment where creativity can flourish, ideas can be challenges and new work can be made. Working with artists and companies whose arts practice is innovative and exploratory in form. We hope to support a programme of extraordinary work which questions and develops arts practice in the 21st century as well as presenting opportunities for audiences to experience new work at every stage of its development.

The Formation Series gives artists the space and resources so that they can try out ideas as part of their development of new work. Audiences are invited to take part by giving feedback, which will support artists as part of this process.

The End

Thu 14 Oct 7.30pm | Full £12 | Conc £8 | Age 16+ 

In this new piece, Bert and Nasi dance the end of their relationship, imagining what a future without each other might look like. 

Above the stage and projected onto a screen, two parallel narratives run alongside each other: the end of the Earth and the end of their collaboration. In the vein of their previous work, it is a poignant, sad and funny account of the ongoing ecological crisis. Their dance is a reminder and a celebration of our own mortality, and that of everything around us.

Time unravels and stretches on into infinity, but the end has never seemed closer

Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor.

Both insistently silly and unreservedly heart-rending

Like shaking your muscles out, like a long-waited exhale of a show
