"It is the overall beauty of this wonderful evening of very varied dance that totally captivates us all." Theatre in Wales

Three unique dances to amuse and amaze.
Afterimage is a journey of fleeting images; of appearance and disappearance. Mirrors are used on stage to form a unique theatrical experience where the past and the present collide with a poetic & creative style of dance.

"Our perspectives confused, our minds bemused." British Theatre Guide

Revellers’ Mass delves into a sumptuous world of ritual. An unlikely group gathers for a dinner party, where convictions, tradition and social etiquette are put to the test in an unexpected evening of revelry. The animated choreography and curious characters are Inspired by iconic paintings and historical events.

"Caroline Finn is definitely one to watch." Broadway Baby

Tundra traverses barren landscape where ultra-modern creativity blinks into life. This dance tears pages from the history books on Russian folk dance, the USSR and revolution, revitalising old ideas with renewed meaning. The bold design is inspired by art and cinema. A dance so robotically precise it’s as mesmerizingly beautiful as it is astounding.

"...a fluid masterpiece of movement." Buzz Magazine
