In a world where communication
is so often via a screen and where
communities gather online rather
than in person, this show reminds
us of the simplicity and warmth
of human contact and the endless
possibility of the people around us.
HURyCAN return to GDIF after
their performance in 2015, in
which a moment of theatrical
shock transformed into a thrilling
tour de force performance. This
new production explores life as an
organism. Prepare to be swept up
in the magical, beautiful, ugly and
vibrantly alive stories of the human
body.
Hip Hop theatre meets the beautiful
game in this high energy dance piece
from Far From The Norm.
Fast-paced footwork and physical
floor work explore socio-political
issues and the connections between
multi-cultural Britain and football.
You’ll find yourself looking at the
nation’s beloved game from a new
perspective.

Neuroscience combines with art
as dancers perform in, within and
around a giant sculptural head
created by artist Pieter van de Pol.
Clear some head space for the
weekend and watch as thoughts get
tangled and blue sky thinking takes
on a whole new meaning.

Two nomads meet and form an
immediate bond. Their bodies sync
in recognition as they react and
respond to their new found situation.
HumanHood aims to close the gap
between audience and performer,
so get ready to be totally immersed
in this sinuous and dynamic
performance.
The red telephone box is a British
icon but with this performance from
Corey Baker Dance you’ll see it in
a whole new light. Put everything
else on hold and watch as this
everyday object is transformed into
a thrilling dance and acrobatic
experience. Come early or stay after
the performance and take a closer
look inside.

Choreographed by Sharon Watson,
Artistic Director of Phoenix Dance
Theatre, this atmospheric, adrenaline
fuelled performance explores ideas of
identity and territorial impulses as
dancers soar and swoop through the
air slicing open the space between
heaven and hell and propelling aerial
dance into uncharted territory.
