Nocturne

Performed at The Place Robin Howard Theatre, London, as part of Resolution! 2011

Artist:

Sooraj Subramaniam

"Nocturne is a skit on the netherworld of sleep, through insomnia, dramatic dreams and ‘falling’ awake (you know that feeling?). He flips easily between comic and dramatic modes, whether thudding feet to the floor as if stamping out demons or scratching his bum in his sleep. Special mention for possibly the most beautifully mimed hand-washing ever seen on stage. A promising start for Subramaniam, another voice to add to the interesting evolution of South Asian dance in contemporary Britain." - Lyndsey Winship

Butterfly Stitch

Performed at The Place Robin Howard Theatre, London, as part of Resolution! 2010 and touring

Artist:

SIN Cru Theatre

"Pow! Bang! Wallop! SIN Cru (with woolly hats that say so) blast their way through the beauty debate in their high-octane Butterfly Stitch. I would certainly have a stitch if I attempted to do what these four talented dancers get up to. A school-uniformed duo shoves and grabs at each other like children, the boy brutally forcing the girl to look at him. An identical couple appear and join in the pounding. Their unique fusion of break-dance with Wim Vandekeybus-style attacks on the body is exhilarating." - Terry O'Donovan
