Float towards alternative reality with Bella Wilson’s latest contemporary dance work, STRUCTURE. witness a bad news day turn into a surrealist dreamscape.
Ever wondered how late-stage capitalism might manifest in a dance-work? We fall down, but the machine continues.
STRUCTURE is Dance Plant Collective's newest full-length contemporary dance show, choreographed by Bella Wilson in collaboration with performers.
We ask the audience what causes us to follow the norm, and what happens when we choose to deviate from this? We gaze inwards and examine the harsh rigidity of impersonal structures, and the gentleness of interpersonal connections. This striking show will transport you through a melancholic, yet hopeful reflection on what it means to exist in 2023.
After 3 years of cancellations due to the pandemic, STRUCTURE follows in the footsteps of DPC’s other full-length creations, such as MEAT in 2019, described as “... original, mature, superbly articulated.” - Brigitte Knight, Theatreview and Magnificent Remains in 2021, “....wonderfully unique and refreshing.” - Lucien Johnson, Theatreview.
2023 is STRUCTURE’s time.
Performed by a stellar cast of 12 dancers to an outstanding original score by Flo Wilson, STRUCTURE exists as a metaphorical magnifying glass, highlighting the many ways in which our modern lives are controlled by external structures. It’s the interplay between order and chaos.
When things spiral, we dance together in the rain.
Not to be missed for both new and veteran dance audiences, this show will take you on a captivating and meditative journey. It is simply sublime.
Presented with support from Peacocke Dance Trust.
