Badlands: A Love Story by Robert Clark

Accompanied by a selection of love songs, choreographer Robert Clark has created a new work of contemporary dance. In a world reminiscent of 50s America, two performers undertake to resolve a love story not of their choosing.

Referencing the films of Terrence Mallick, David Lynch and Guillermo del Toro, Robert attempts to create the one thing he feels the dance world truly needs... a real, honest love story.

30 Cecil Street by Dan Canham

In 2009 Dan Canham (Kneehigh, DV8, Punchdrunk, Fabulous Beast) made a film in a disused theatre in Limerick, Ireland. Using the film as inspiration, this original piece of dance-theatre is a tribute for a lost and ruined theatre.

A performance of fragments of memories, of wild nights and long-disappeared communities, it evokes the life of a once-mighty building and asks what is left when a theatre closes its doors to the public?

"Dan Canham raises ghosts in this spine tingling dance-theatre piece" - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
