The essence of our work is derived from human experience and the ways in which we interact with one another.  We create work for a variety of spaces and contexts.

Created after gaining the TURN 2011 choreography award – Ballast is based on women from Greek tragedies such as Electra and Antigone, where their fates are set and we are watching the dismantling and unravelling of their humanity.

Performed to an original score by composer Stephen Brown.

Commissioned for Urban Moves 2012 by Dance Manchester and Manchester and Bolton Council, Stop Ladies is a street theatre piece designed to make you laugh out loud as the hen party from hell invades your personal space. The girls will chase, cajole, cry and dance with you until something else takes their fancy, but remember – no one leave auntie K behind!

Based on Lindsey’s MA research into communication systems used in the studio, the dancer as actor and how we use methodology to devise work, The truth about me’ is based on our sometimes rose-tinted view of ourselves and the way in which we bend the truth to appear more interesting, exciting, sexy, employable!

A funny, insightful, dance theatre piece set and performed in a bar, the performers date, cajole and come clean about themselves to and with their audience.

When the world ends what do you stash? PREPPERS is an experimental piece of physical theatre that introduces four distinct yet interlinked characters as they deal with the end of the world.
