BROTHER & I by Toby Hall

My big brother always seemed perfect. I am now very aware that he was not. Life stuck between Southend On Sea and Chelmsford featuring a FIFA Celebration playlist.

GHOST SISTER by Jordon Hawthorne

After 13 years of being the eldest of three, the arrival of a ghost sister shakes up the dynamic of an entire family.

THE LAST CALLING by Jingya Peng

A thirteen year old girl alone a plane. She can see a rainstorm and lightning out of the window. The passengers are nervous but at that age she doesn’t know what death is and everything is funny.

THE UNAFFECTED by Rhys Crownshaw

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover – the truth about our preconceptions of disability laid bare using verbatim stories and experiences.

'Selection is a fantasy set in late 1960s Oxford, a place of stark iniquity, where a group of the most privileged students and their social polar opposites share a similar goal – escape. The reason: a German victory at the end of the 2nd World War. In this world, Britain is a run-down, depleted puppet state, where life chances lie abroad, and forced labour is the norm. A place where the ordinary needs of young people for love, fun, hope, a future, get swallowed under the wheels of history, forcing them into moral dilemmas they are ill-equipped to solve.'

Dam Van Huynh draws upon the words of writers, poets, activists as an awakening to his displaced experience as a child refugee from the Vietnam war. Moving from a state of disorientation into a state of consciousness, Re:birth retraces a personal experience of rediscovery.

The performance unravels a recollection of visual impressions and sensations, a memory book whose pictures and stories long forgotten begin to resurface, a distortion between memories and dreams. Movement responds to a field of light, sound and voice to trick the senses.

Winner of the Asian Arts Award for Best Directing 2018

Experience BLKDOG, the Olivier Award winning Hip Hop dance theatre production by acclaimed choreographer Botis Seva and his company Far From The Norm.

Vital and gripping, BLKDOG is Botis Seva’s haunting commentary on surviving adulthood as a childlike artist. A genre defying blend of hip hop dance and free form antics, BLKDOG explores the inner battlefield of an ageing artist trying to retain his youth.

With music from long standing collaborator Torben Lars Sylvest and performed by Botis' powerhouse company Far From The Norm, BLKDOG searches for coping mechanisms in the ultimate hunt for acceptance.
