CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Scag
Performed by Antonia Grove, choreographed by Jeremy James. James’ debut as a choreographer, originally created for himself to perform in 1993, is a deceptively virtuosic work, belied by the choreographer’s efforts to make the movement look naturalistic.

This
Choreographed by New Art Club in 2007/08, This is performed by Antonia Grove and Theo Clinkard with deadpan seriousness and great wit, monitoring their own and each other’s movement as it happens.
