MILKWOOD RODEO - THE SUGAR BEAST CIRCUS - A performance inspired by holy men and Hollywood - an autobiographical fantasy capturing performers' memories of life on the road with an Indian circus. The piece fuses physical theatre and unique and elegant aerial work with animation and projection to create a strange reality. Milkwood Rodeo was developed with the support of The Roundhouse and Arts Council England. SPILTMILK SAY DANCE - SPILTMILK DANCE - Performed by the award-winning Spiltmilk Dance company who use their distinctively quirky style to put a new spin on popular social dance crazes of the 20th century. Dance phenomena such as The Twist, Disco and Ballroom are re-imagined to create a completely new dance experience. THAT WAS THE TIME I STOPPED - AMY BELL AND VALENTINA GOLFIERI - Surreal flights of fancy, fears and hallucinations are spliced together by two enigmatic figures to create a makeshift sense of reality. This is darkly humorous dance in stop-frame.

Genius Sweatshop has been gratefully supported by Crying Out Loud, La Breche (Normandy), The Blue Elephant Theatre, Ideas Tap and countless individuals. Running Time: Approx. 2hrs - 2 intervals
