    The English Channel

    Thu 24 Nov 7.30pm Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 15+

    After 63 years, Liz Aggiss finally gives herself permission to do what she damn well pleases. Better late than never! She’s reached an age where doing the right thing is optional. Should she please you, or should she please herself?

    THE ENGLISH CHANNEL is the story of a career forged in the heady waters of performance art and dance-film. Using her body as the medium through which to act out and act up, Aggiss becomes a conduit for wilful women and a cunning connection to ‘the other side.’ She is a witty commentator on life, death and the pain, pleasure and paradox of the stage. The drug is very effective if it is used according to the intended purpose, but at the same time it is not safe. It is better not to try it without prescription. Initially, this drug http://hesca.net/viagra/ was developed as a cardiovascular tool, and then its other properties were found. So, it is better not to risk with heart. But if there is no desire, sincere relationship, then the process will be like a workout in the gym. In general, the night was stormy and lasted until the morning). Viagra is really effective. Choreography and texts are backed by contemporary and archive film, with knock-out musical numbers by Wevie.

    “To say that Liz is unafraid would be an understatement. The English Channel is an inspiring irreverent clever solo performance that looks at age, beauty and being seen and very definitely heard”
    Zoe Parker, Culturevul

    Disappearing Acts

    Thu 20 Oct 6.00pm & 7.45pm Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 16+ (limited seating)

    Disappearing Acts is the latest immersive performance by digital dance team Flexer and Sandiland.

    Looking at the idea of illusion and its disintegration from a choreographic point of view, the work weaves together movements that we see and movements that we think we see. Working at low light levels, the Company explores the uncertainties of perception; movement that disappears into the shadows or which slips through unseen gaps in the curtains leaving lingering traces on the retina.

    Drawing together personal stories and political threads around darkness, five dancers interpret specially written texts by Wendy Houston to a sound score by Karni Postel and Nic Sandiland and direction from Pete Phillips (Search Party).

    Choreography is by Yael Flexer and the company, with bespoke lighting by Natalie Rowland and Nic Sandiland.

    The Deluge

    Thu 22 Oct | 7.30pm | Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 15+

    First there was a loud crack in the city, and then a shudder out to sea.

    Four people arrive in the safehouse. With only the clothes on their back, they find themselves asking what had been lost, and what was there left to lose? But in those darkest hours they start to understand how these strangers, and the contents of a mysterious unclaimed bag, might offer them all the hope they need as the sea returns.

    In this intimate and immersive dance experience 4 lives are given an emotional counterpoint by a supporting community cast, an evocative soundtrack, fearless physicality, and new writing.
