Gravity and Levity May 12, 2008

Contemporary dance, aerial circus and physical theatre collide in a multi-layered, visceral thrill as artistic director Lindsey Butcher’s acclaimed Gravity & Levity once again returns to upend the dance floor.

SHIFT rekindles the creative energy first ignited by the rich mix of collaborators for its previous production Taking Flight. This latest work brings Stomp co-creators Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas alongside two formidable choreographic talents – the intensely physical Charlotte Vincent (Vincent Dance Theatre) and sublimely lyrical Charles Linehan – to form an extraordinary triple bill programme.

Together they create a perfectly balanced distillation of interlinked choreography, with live and composed music (from Daniel Weaver, Scott Smith, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas) and played out on a moving, sculptural set (designed by Mish Weaver) that carves through the space to create a daring and captivating promenade performance. more info more info
