Pave Up Paradise
Lost Dog’s dynamic, sensual and confrontational duet revisits Adam and Eve after their fall from grace.

Heart of Chaos

Choreographed by former Artistic Director Darshan Singh Bhuller, this work captures the spirit of a colossal boxing figure who challenged the segregated sport and white America in the era of Jim Crow and the Jazz Age.

Signal
Henri Oguike’s unflinching and powerful piece embraces both the frenzy of the battlefield and the calm at the centre of the storm.

Family
Choreographed by Shapiro and Smith, this satirical fly on the wall dance, elegantly captures the complexity of human interaction and ordinary passions that define family life.

Harmonica Breakdown
In Jane Dudley’s masterpiece, a lone female dancer creates a poetic representation of an individual’s struggle to gain self-respect and dignity in a cruel, volatile world.
