Papyllon
 

We have just performed a section for Let’s Dance International Frontiers by Serendipity in Leicester at the Curve along with an extract of our new work in progress ‘Foreign Bodies’ performed by Patrick Ziza and David Evans. (Above is a little snippet of rehearsal footage). Thank you for having us Serendipity: We loved the whole process! Read our blog about the making of Papyllon with Serendipity We also loved seeing the work of Germaine Acogny and taking class with the amazing Barbara Ramos (Santiago de Cuba) and Jeanguy Saintus Riché (Haiti): Thank you!

We are also extremely excited to announce that we have been granted an AIDF fund (Artists‘ International Development Fund funded by the British Council and Arts Council England), to collaborate with poet Toni Stuart in South Africa: both developing the work as a duet, and performing the finished product (more on that next month!)

We will next perform an extract of Papyllon for COLLABO Bristol on the 23rd June

 
Ladylike

We have our last Ladylike show coming up and it is going to be a little different! Our family member Azara will be travelling to LA and so we have an honorary Ladylike member joining us for this show with a twist!
Show information and tickets

We have been nominated for a LUKAS award for best dance production: alongside the likes of Sidi Larbi and Carlos Acosta! So we need your votes! Vote for best dance production here (US!)
