P U S H

Sunday 18th Mar, 7:30 pm

Following the success of CURIOUS SEED's award-winning production 'found' at the UHall in 2009, P U S H is the company's ambitious new full-length dance theatre performance. Conceived and directed by Christine Devaney – with her growing trademark of marrying expressive choreography and live music with poetic text and video images – P U S H involves a wall, a young girl and an ensemble whose ordinary extraordinary stories unfold and remind us to question what's important. What pushes you to move, to say something, to push back? This promises to be Curious Seed's most challenging and beautiful performance to date. 70 minutes (no interval)

AN EVENING OF CONTEMPORARY DANCE 2

Friday 13th Apr, 8:00 pm

Presented as part of Bodysurf Scotland's dance platforms this show brings three inspiring and compelling dance solos from three riveting international artists: Benno Voorham, Rosalind Masson plus a special guest. The Masson piece, The Oceans are Drowning, was inspired by current environmental issues surrounding the melting of the polar ice-caps due to global warming. Now in this moment, the smallest gesture can have the biggest consequence. Never has information flown so quickly and yet it is possible that we have never been less aware.

‘There's a visual poetry in "Our Oceans Are Drowning," a thoughtful quality in Masson's movement that lends subtlety and eloquence to her eco-sensitive message.The Herald

Jamp

Saturday 5th May, 2:00 pm

JAMP tells stories of extraordinary meetings on an ordinary street. A simple bench and a bus stop become a meeting point, a playpark, a hiding place or a battleground. JAMP is new circus-theatre for Scotland — mischievous, playful, tough and fearless. Scottish performing arts company Bright Night International (BNI) and Glasgow Parkour Coaching (GPC) created a dynamic new performance style suitable for all the family, drawing on parkour, acrobatics, dance, stunts, gymnastics, breakdance and physical theatre.

"There was a buzz of parkour and free-running through the whole city for days afterwards. The people loved it!"Spoffin Production Assistant, JAMP Amersfoort
