Very happy to say that we’ve been nominated as Best Independent Dance Company at the National Critics Circle Awards! Wonderful to be recognised alongside friends, colleagues and the people & companies we admire. @national_dance_awards_ 

One of the best thing about being nominated for something like this is being given the time to thank those who have given us so much. In this occasion we would like to thank those who have worked behind the scenes, those that don’t get the applause at the end of the show but have been with us over this past year and made everything possible…Nao, @tspooner0 @taitpam @sheilahayceramics @janbrzee @dazzaroid @ellaholap.pa @meghodgsonn Andrea Edwards and @abstraktpublicity . To @tinkflaherty for coordinating access in our work and changing how, why and who we create our work for. You’ve been incredible. Thanks to those who have supported this work alongside Tink including @jen_smethurst @kamariromeoproducer and @shivaangee .

Special thanks to @eckhard_thiemann for his vision and insight over the past few years, we’ll miss you; to @evevegliohuner and @michaelkitchinn for your incredible work as producers; to @antoniacbeck and the team at @the_lowry where we begin to wrap up our time as associates with you. To all of you, thanks for believing in us and our funny old work and the incredible support you’ve given us!

Thankful to have worked alongside this amazing team for the @byfar_official SS26 campaign 🌹♥️

Childhood nostalgia is something I hold very close to my heart. 
When I think about mine it is filled with unparalleled freedom, sweltering heat, adventure, bare feet, naive discovery, simple joys & the delicious lull of time; slow motion technicolour. 

Spending three months in the Bulgarian countryside with my grandmother & grandfather during the school holidays have shaped who I am deep down (yes, Bulgarian summer holidays were/are basically three months long, which for a kid, is heeeeeaven).

I’d pick fruits & veg from the garden & eat them right away. We’d milk our goats. I’d watch my grandmother cook & did she cook well! I’d fall over constantly bc no one was there to limit any of my moves; deep gravelly holes in my knees. Riding bikes  into the town centre with my cousins, obviously with no helmets. Climbing our cherry tree with no one watching. Eating cherries. Sitting in the sun with no sunscreen bc no one had heard of sunscreen. I was never truly bored, there was always something to do with all the other kids - also there, away from city life, at their grandparents for the whole summer. 

This campaign is very much about finding those memories & holding them close. ‘Growing Young’ is about remembering we were all children once & how special it is to have lived those early years being wild & free. 

As we grow we collect pieces of joy, grief, heartache, success, love etc. Growth can be invisible & that’s when it’s most profound - silently working on parts of us while we fail to recognise it. So even when we feel like there is no growth, I really do think that it’s very much there in ways we may not be aware of ✨

This is a snippet from a new work by El as part of our residency with the @philharmonia_orchestra . They’ve started off using this bit of Bach transcribed by another composer called Kurtag, and have been adapting the score into new versions with @janbrzee and musicians from the orchestra. The idea stems from a concert the Philharmonia are doing which explores ‘a web of composers from across the centuries playing tribute to those who came before them’. The work aims to be complex and simple, mathematical and poetic, fleeting and solid, and other opposites that aren’t really opposites at all.
 
We’ve had the enormous pleasure to be joined by dancers @_annieedwards and @harryaalexander for this work. Annie and Harry will also be learning solos by Danny set to Ravel’s Trois Poems de Stephane Mallarme. 

Come see this new work for FREE at 6pm on June 4th in the Clore Ballroom at the @southbankcentre . We will be hosting a Symposium about all the new work we’ve been making during our residency.

Thanks to @balletboyz for the space!
