Now we could start of this feature with a withering reference to Edwin Starr’s song “War [What Is It Good For?]” but since pretty much nobody will know what we’re on about let’s move on shall we! ‘Five Soldiers’ is the latest work from Rosie Kay Dance Company. The piece takes a long hard look […]
We have been featuring Verve, the graduate dance company out of the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds, for four years now and Verve 10 is here for 2010 with 5 new works and 11 new dancers. Just in-case you don’t know what a graduate company is or does then allow us to explain. […]
What can we say about Motionhouse Dance Theatre that hasn’t already been written? Well, probably quite a lot since our book ‘Motionhouse The Untold Story, Living The Dream with Very Little Cash’ couldn’t find a publisher. Having previously toured the country with works involving scaffolding (‘Volatile’), mountains of sand (‘Perfect’), too many objects for words […]
When last we featured the work of Arthur Pita it was wrapped in the cloak that was Bare Bones Dance Company with the ‘5 Man Show’. This time out Mr Pita has cut loose with a full evenings work entitled ‘God’s Garden’. Based on the biblical parable ‘The Prodigal Son’ (or the ‘Lost Son’) this […]

The company is also celebrating their 15th anniversary this year which is a really long time in this business that we call show (who calls it that? Ed!) ‘Antipode’ itself is performed by 5 male dancers and explores the […]
It has been more than 3 years since we last featured the goings on at one of Norway’s brightest dance companies. With their latest touring efforts we have ‘Private Rite’ from Canadian dancesmith Hélène Blackburn and ‘WeFiction’ created by the company. With Panta Rei we have a company that’s all about the movement and custom […]
Pair Dance, helmed by dancer/choreographer Harriet Macauley and soundsmith Richard Leonard, last appeared on Article19 about eighteen months ago with the superbly crafted ‘Silent Steps’ one of the highlights of the Big Mission festival. That particular work is soon to be retired but the company have two new pieces in the pipeline for future touring. […]
As promised we have a preview feature for you from Motionhouse Dance Theatre and their ongoing rehearsals for their brand new work ‘Scattered’ which will premiere in October. Just like we told you in our photo feature early last month the work features a giant ramp, placed at the back of the stage, as well […]
