Probe 'Magpie' May 7, 2008

This ambitious new spectacle reinvents the old school variety show, featuring seven contrasting and interlinked ‘dance gems’ from radically different choreographers.

Four specially commissioned duets - from dark dramatist Mark Bruce, the sublimely understated Charles Linehan, Broadway darling Stephen Mear and the brilliantly absurd New Art Club - sit alongside Trisha Brown’s seminal “Accumulation” from 1971, the first ever piece by Jeremy James and a Bessie award-winning work from Israel’s Yasmeen Godder.
