Urban Explorers
Urban Explorers is TDC’s annual mixed professional and participatory project working with Participants from across Nottinghamshire culminating in a performance at Nottingham Playhouse on 4th July. In 2019 work will be inspired by the Step Sonic project.
Step Sonic: Part 1 & 2
Supported by the PRS Open Fund Step Sonic is a new work for three dancers. Featuring new music by Jo Wills and the company dancers, Step Sonic is a tribute to the phenomenal impact electronic and bass music has had on contemporary culture. A new kind of dance album.
In an exciting development for the company this double bill couples Step Sonic (part 1) a new work, with 2 Commissions by choreographers new to the company and SURGE by Tom Dale (part 2). Focused on the body and movement the pieces combine to create a visceral, explosive and captivating performance.
