Company Decalage and makin projects in association with DX Productions present:

Appel / Breaking Point / Eteins Pas  / New Work (title tbc)

A selection of 4 outstanding works by Place prize winner Mickael ‘Marso’ Riviere’s Company Decalage. French choreographer Marso is well known as a hip hop artist and as an independent choreographer he is notably eclectic, working with artists from The Bolshoi Ballet to hip hop crews.

Appel
A trio based on the live interaction between two dancers and a musician who plays Bansuri (flute) and tabla. The piece portrays the instinctive elements of dance and the spontaneity of music, inspired in equal parts by b-boying, Capoeira and contemporary dance.

Breaking Point
Featuring four dancers and two musicians, this piece is inspired initially by the effect of music on people in the hip-hop culture and the b-boying scene.

Eteins Pas
Inspired by the idea of life after death, with many ideas coming from reading stories about out of body experiences.

New Work – details tbc.

‘Company Decalage fuses b-boying, capoeira and contemporary dance, and its short but oh-so-sweet work Appel is an absolute joy to watch.’ The Scotsman
