c-scape dance company
When the Shops Shut
When the shops are shut for good, when the shutters come down for the last time, when the final homes are bought up, what happens to communities then? Cscape’s new show uses the company’s unique style of physical story telling to tell the tales of villages and the people who live in them. Evocative, charming and funny, When the Shops Shut, brings the characters found in these communities to life in a vivid blend of dance, theatre, film, poetry and music. Featuring the work of choreographers T.C Howard, Helen Tiplady and Sally Williams, the film work of Mark Jenkin and the poetry of Anna Maria Murphy and Murray Lachlan-Young
Age range: Age 8 +

Ludus Dance
Consequences
Ludus Dance and Nuffield Theatre Lancaster are delighted to unleash Consequences – a jaw-dropping dance theatre spectacle that will have you both laughing out loud and holding back the tears. For this electrifying triple bill production, Ludus Dance has attracted three of the UK’s most prominent choreographers – Nigel Charnock, Yael Flexer and Ben Wright. Each choreographer takes you on a compelling journey of cause and effect… push and pull… through a pulse-racing mix of energetic dance, theatre and music.
Nigel Charnock brings you a thunderously chaotic chunk of dance theatre that explores the effects of order and chaos on our lives, whilst poking fun at the self-destructing tendencies of our fame hungry society. Yael Flexer’s ‘show within a show’ sees the four dancers caught up in the ripple effect of their own decisions as they create a show before your very eyes. Meanwhile, Ben Wright’s choreography calls us to seize the moment… NOW! Prepare to be entertained. Consequences will open your eyes… and keep them open!
