    3fall dance

    2015

    Thu 12 Feb | 7.30pm | Full £8 | Conc £5 | Age 14+

    3Fall are working with three highly-acclaimed choreographers. Stuart Waters, a Northern School of Contemporary Dance graduate, returns to working with 3Fall with an extremely energetic work that will push the dancers to their physical boundaries. Detta Howe, founder of Ginger Dance Company, has taken an improvisational approach to her piece. Water into Water explores her key interests; presence and awareness in performance. Howe states that “this work allows the dancers the freedom to experience themselves in motion”.

    The premise of the work is informed by ideas surrounding water and the self.” Howe’s quirky piece will be performed to the music of Doris Day, promising a thrilling and unpredictable performance.

    Our third choreographer, Ceyda Tanc is working with 3Fall for a second year, re-creating her piece Volta. This piece explores her keen interest in Turkish folk dance.

    YouMake ReMake

    YouMake ReMake

    Thu 23rd October 2014 | 7.30pm | Full £10 | Conc £6

    YouMake ReMake is a unique and multi-disciplinary performance, consisting of artistic responses to Youtube videos, live on stage. During the show, the audience gets to see both the reaction – the “Remake” – and the original YouTube video, in either order and sometimes simultaneously. A chain of reactions and their “original” muses is created onstage. All in all, it’s a simple concept. It’s a unique format. It’s a captivating, entertaining and thought provoking show. Basically it is a form of dialogue, where stage and web merge together and continue one another.

    Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion

    The Quiet Dance & Body Not Fit For Purpose

    Thu 2 Oct | 7.30pm | Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 16+

    The work of Burrows and Fargion radiates delight even as it makes the audience think. Over the past ten years the two artists have built a body of duets which mix the formality of classical music composition with an open and often anarchic approach to performance and audiences, bringing them a worldwide following. The Quiet Dance is an absurd confusion of movement and sound, where a simple walk becomes a call for help and looping rhythms build to an hysterical pitch. Body Not Fit For Purpose is their newest work, commissioned by the Venice Biennale and featuring 33 short table dances set to a series of non-conformist mandolin pieces.

    The Quiet Dance and Body Not Fit For Purpose are supported by public funding through the National Lottery from Arts Council England. Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion are co-produced by Kaaitheater Brussels, PACT, Zollverein Essen, Sadler’s Wells Theatre London and BIT Teatergarasjen Bergen, and are currently in-house artists at th Nightingale, Brighton England.

    “There are few performers who can hold an audience captive like this double act…
    the timing of every note, shrug, laugh and gesture is awesome”
    ★★★★★ Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
