“Kuru-Go” Michael Schumacher and Kirstie Simson

Friday 7th Jun, 8:00 pm

Kuru-GoBodysurf Scotland presents two of the world's best improvising dance performance artists at the Universal Hall. Back for the third year running. Michael Schumacher and Kirstie Simson create live improvised dance performances that are nothing short of brilliant in execution and style.

“We're used to improvisation in jazz and traditional music, whether on stage or in post-show sessions. We're used to improv and standup comedy and rap. But in dance, everything is choreographed, rehearsed, and polished with nothing left to chance. It's very rare to see improvised dance, and rarer still to see it done with the finesse, artistry and bubbling joie de vivre that Kirstie Simson and Michael Schumacher bring”. Jennie Macfie, Northings 2012

Pre-theatre dinner is available at the Blue Angel Cafe in the Universal Hall from 6.30pm

Tickets available at the Phoenix Stores only (not online) Phone 01309 690110. To make a reservation for dinner, please email

Price: £10 / £8 (concessions)
