About us

You're invited to two evenings of innovative dance and theatre created and performed by our Barbican Theatre Performance Training groups

********
Friday 12 July 2019 7:30pm INDRA and Theatre Junction
********

INDRA Plymouth
'To Shave Or Not To Shave'

To shave or not to shave that is the question? Straight, curly, wavy? Black hair, blue? We all have a relationship to hair whether its there or not. Indra Plymouth explore stories of their relationships with hair…and not just the stuff in your head!

Theatre Junction
'Second Person Narrative'

Theatre Junction are performing an extract from Second Person Narrative by Jemma Kennedy – a play which looks at one girl's life from her birth to death. During the first half of the year, the group have been exploring physicality, voice and working as an ensemble to tell stories.

********
Saturday 13 July 7:30pm COMPANY b Dance and Dance Junction
********

Dance Junction
'Natural Movement'

Building on the work they created for the platform and using live streaming and other technical wizardry this piece aims to examine humans in their natural day environment, understanding how we interact with each other.

COMPANY b Dance
'House Party'

Building on previous work, COMPANY b Dance continue to look at how we interact with each other. This is framed within a house party event and how we try to connect with each other through music, dance, and talk.

'Party Hard'

Stumbling into a house party, COMPANY b Dance confront some of the unspoken rituals and situations that may take place in this environment.
Parties can be… Awkward. Uncomfortable. Challenging. And sometimes fun… I guess?

'Skin'

'Skin' has been devised in response to the earlier work 'Party Hard'. While 'Party Hard' delves into a single event, 'Skin' examines fragments of those peoples' lives. Drawing upon memories and imagined moments: family, friends, people who barely know each other & complete strangers all encounter one another.

I've seen you in my dreams before… I do not know you yet.

People change.
They shed their skin.
Some people stay.
Some people leave.
We are curious.
We learn.
We age.

We can easily lose the passion for things that once may have filled us with joy.
Sometimes our shadows seem like they have a mind of their own.

We recognise that no matter how brief or how monumental the contact we have or have had with others in our lives that every person will leave some sort of imprint.

Beneath our layers, who are we really?
