Choreographer: Nasae Evanson
Performers: Nasae Evanson, Tilly Webber, Raquel Gaviria, Fay Harvey and Jaquline Johnstone

This piece at Potters Field Park had a beautiful backdrop of Tower Bridge. Although the rain temporarily affected the start of the piece, it did not stop over 700 people come and watch this fast paced comedy and reflective choreography which reflected the people of London. Highlighting the diversity of Londoners with interactions of the people and with the sculpture. Using the sculpture as a playground, it highlighted the possibilities of enjoying the open spaces London has to offer with performers climbing up and walking across this 2.50 meter sculpture.

Strength and passion carried the story of love and hate which used a powerful and chilling cool blue lighting states with physical and contemporary movement and choreography.

Pics from "Roxanne"



Breed, choreographed by Nasae Evanson and with Avant Garde, this piece was fast flowing and was a mixture of contemporary and street choreography. It highlighted the diversity of the company, which included high risk lifts, jumps and sequences which meant the dancers needed to be on top of their game to execute.

Choreographed by Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster, the piece captured an abstract story of exploring ones insecurities people have with their bodies, acknowledging the mirrored 3 sides of the sculpture. Performed by Annie herself, Kim Clarke and Alex Drumm, this piece was a physical layered piece of shapes and dynamic solos, duets and trios.
