PERMANENT STAFF
Artistic Director and Choreographer
Frauke Requardt
Development Manager
Gwen van Spijk

ARTISTIC POLICY
Frauke Requardt’s work offers striking visual imagery, physically exciting dancing, strong theatricality, dark humour, and an underpinning surrealism. She uses text and live music, often jazz-based, and a mixture of abstract and emotionally based movement to deliver entertaining and intriguing performances.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
There was such simple harmony… great stuff!
Ballet magazine (Back on Track)
Fantastic entertainment.
Robert Clough
A gloriously intoxicated cabaret for the end of days.
Ben Felsenburg (Amazing Kate)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Jammy Dodgers
Requardt challenges her dancers to spontaneously adapt her choreography to the changing nature of improvised jazz music. Full of mischievous humour and chaotic energy, played out to an intimately positioned audience.
60 mins, 12 on the road, sexually explicit
RoadKill Café
Lures the audience into unworldly, jazz-fuelled setting where we meet a rich cast of off-kilter characters including the ukulele man and his kooky cowboy sister, none of whom are quite what they seem.
80 minutes, 9 on the road
Pequenas Delicias
A humorous work designed specifically for restaurant and café settings where diners can choose from a menu of dances that slowly build up to a crescendo that takes over the whole restaurant.
60 minutes, 7 on the road

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Episdoes
A piece consisting of 6 episodes of short dance stories that fit together like a puzzle. With three performers and live music.

WRAP-AROUND
Frauke Requardt and company offer high-quality education workshops that can be delivered alongside performances. Ranging from 2 hours to a full-day these workshops consist of a release-based class, some repertoire with a focus on improvisation leading into a compositional, more creative part. They always contextualise the work and reveal how the company works. The company is also open to residencies and weekly workshops.
Post and Pre-show talks and discussions are also available alongside performances.
