IN THE DUST

Three critically acclaimed choreographers explore what it takes to be In the Dust, in a triple bill of darkly explosive break-infused contemporary dance works. Tom Dale, Place Prize finalist Freddie Opoku-Addaie and 2Faced's Artistic Director Tamsin Fitzgerald, bring to you powerful, poignant and fierce athleticism in an intoxicating mix of testosterone fuelled dance.
