The Dinner by [Katia Lom] Katia is working for the first time on a piece that crosses over between visual art and dance and brings together visual artists, actors and dancers onstage. The concept is of a conversation building up over a meal .Katia Lom being both a visual artist and choreographer, the piece attempts to bring cohesion to both ways of working and to conceptualise the act of choreographing as one would the act of painting, hence the use of various materials including charcoal Two Lives a collaboration from [Tim Taylor] and [Anna Cannings] Two Lives, An evocation of the lives of a woman and a man, is a work crafted in the medium of dance theatre. It’s a story arising from the starting point of the static shape... the held image and it emerges into life with an eloquent exposition of the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of living... of experiences that isolate or unite and of actions that merge and separate in time and space.Company MIKS (n+3 / Flappers).

Sometimes it Never Leaves the Skin/Flappers/Guest of Honour/After They Left - T0894040210[Donna Redlick Dance] Sometimes it never leaves the skin (Canada) - An autobiographical solo and physical etching of a personal journey and result of dialogues. The piece began with the choice of working with a mature dancer, choreographer Reddick asks "As dancers in our forties, what do we know in our bodies now that we did not know before? Why do we feel an innate desire to continue to dance?" The answers and stories that unfold became the seed for this piece alongside dancer Salome Diaz's personal story of being a Mexican-born woman, dancer and mother who immigrated to Canada in her mid-twenties. [MIKS] performing Flappers Miks is a Greenwich-based dance theatre collective run by Anais Bouts, Sara Lindstrom and Ida Uvaas. Miks aim to explore the edges of performance-making, creating an intimacy between performers and audience in their provocative and entertaining performances. Flappers transcends into one character's lifetime, the ethereal hysteria distinguishes no past, present or future. Flappers is the 2nd part of triple bill n+. It was generated from the first piece n+1, choreographed by MIKS. After seeing n+1 only once, choreographer Frauke Requardt came on board, taking the essence of the piece and making it hers. The third and last piece of n+ will be choreographed by Athina Vahla, and is premiering at September's Open Space. [Noa Zamir] and [Leslie Henfrey-Smith] performing Guest of Honour explores limitation, narration and absurdity. It’s an intense, dynamic piece stimulating both visual experience and conceptual interpretation. The piece traces how the deepest feelings of isolation can come to an extreme. Everyday material makes Guest Of Honour communicative whilst the unique point of view opens the doors to fantasy and imagination. Israeli born [Noa Zamir] has been performing this piece with dramaturg [Lesley Hanfrey-Smith] throughout the summer internationally. [Silversmith Dance Theatre] performing After They Left A woman feels that her house and its memories are too painful, so she decides to live in her garden for a while... Created through structured improvisation by both performer and composer, and using the life of Barbara Hepworth as stimulus, After They Left explores narrative, urban environments and the abstraction of emotions to immerse performer and audience in the world of this unresolved character. [Silversmith Dance Theatre] produces innovative and accessible dance theatre through artistic collaborations. The company’s work focuses upon human themes and narratives of a dark comedic nature, merging different movement styles with the theatrical to create thought-provoking contemporary work.Company Donna Redlick Dance (Sometimes it Never Leaves the Skin).
