SARA GREEN
BURNT OUT

A cathartic attempt to give life to the traumas that trap us, releasing them as creatures into a shadowy world. With sculptured light and visceral movement driven by electronic soundscore.

Using memories sucked from the choreographer’s experience of major spinal surgery, warped through the surreal minds of illustrator Simon Gardner and composers Low Island, Burnt Out serves to translate extraordinary physical experiences into quantifiable living things. Evolved using illustration, composition and movement into a creature and it’s world, four dancers now deliver the species in full chaotic glory. For a lightyear second this remarkable team of multidisciplinary artists bring another world briefly into view.

Choreography: Sara Green

Illustration: Simon Gardner

Composition: Jamie Jay & Carlos Posada [Low Island]

Costume: Auriol Williamson

;(HAPPY FATHER’S DAY)

;(Happy Father’s Day) a reflective cumming-of-age piece with a comedic edge. This is a heart-stirring journey that focuses on a vital relationship from an unexpected point of view. With the use of Hip-Hop Dance, Dani's fusion of movement and text narrates a biological tale of a sperm cell hoping to find his purpose in life.

Dani is a young, yet experienced performer and choreographer based in South-West London. Graduating in 2013 from University of East London - studying Dance: Urban Practice, His passion is to express his appreciation for the previous and current pop cultures in dance (specifically Hip-Hop Dance).

"He took an unconventional topic and made the character relatable & personable. Physicality, dialogue, staging, lighting, soundtrack was so effective. A puberty lesson I wished I had during my school years." -
