A brand-new work; details to follow shortly.
Choreographer: Raymond Tait
Dancers: Sarah Elliott, Jessica Hurst, Melissa Nettleford, Joanne Pirrie
"Finally, a pacy work for the seven-strong Raymond Tait Dance in the DV8/Protein tradition of Great British dance theatre. A little bit kitsch, a bit wry, with a touch of self-deprecation; it playfully pokes fun at painful truths, in this case the incompatibility of passion and long-term love. In To You rollicks along with mood-setting movement, animated performers and an onstage violinist (nice touch), but somehow it felt like an extract from a longer piece. Which is not necessarily a criticism, perhaps an incentive."
