REVIEW EXTRACTS
'The most compelling partnership in British dance.' The Daily Telegraph

CURRENT PRODUCTION
Encore A mixed programme of four new works created for the company by Rafael Bonachela, Charles Linehan, Liv Lorent and Will Tuckett. Michael and Billy look back over 20 years dancing together and take us on a journey – starting with the very beginnings of their classical training, taking in the heritage and tradition of folk dance, reflecting on what it is to be an artist, before crashing headlong into the present and beyond. With film and the odd surprise or two! (100 mins including 20 mins interval, 3 on stage, 6 on the road)

WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY
Extensive education and outreach projects available to accompany performances.
