New work (title tbc) Spring 2011

The award winning 2faced dance will return with a brand new triple bill of work available for booking Spring 2011. Featuring work by three choreographers including artistic director Tamsin Fitzgerald. This triple bill will showcase the versatility, skill and unique style of this outstanding company.

Also available for booking is the highly charged, gritty piece Still Breathing which combines stunning athleticism, explosive abstract breaking and masculine vulnerability in a piece which explores the space we occupy.

Set to an electrifyingly intense and specially commissioned score this is an hour of unstoppable seemingly impossible movement performed by the all male company described as ‘A force to be reckoned with' **** Scotsman.
