DRIVEN
Slam on the brakes and feel the rush of what it is to be alive.
			
'A ferociously energetic performance style with a slick and glossy assault on contemporary values.'
The Guardian, Jan 2007

'The talented cast work right to the limits of their abilities, bringing sensuality and breathtaking 
moments in equal proportion.'
The Stage, Feb 2007 

'Dynamic, fast paced action... dancers swing, flip and roll alongside and over each other.  Driven employs aerial work with thrilling skill, at one point it even takes on supernatural suggestions'
The Times, Jan 2007 

'Offering a subtle questioning of the how and why we live our lives. Motionhouse play humour and tragedy against each other, each emotion drawn in muscle and sinew stealing shapes from the air in a symphony of powerful yet graceful athleticism.'
The Big Issue, May 2007

'Driven contains Motionhouse's signature, non-stop flying and catching...  Many of you will recognise the signature moments in the piece from an average day at work; office flirtation, a night out, dancing, drinking, a relationship gone wrong.  Driven is about regular folks trying to make it through the day and night.'
Article 19, May 2007

Driven, the latest high-voltage production by Motionhouse, toured to full houses around the country from January 2007 to April 2008.

With Driven Motionhouse explodes on stage in a head-on collision with reality. Five performers race in the fast lane, dodging the flying debris, as their lives literally fall apart around them. Driven presents life as a series of significant moments, seductive decisions to be made and their physical consequences.

Another heart in your mouth dance theatre production from Motionhouse, Driven is all about wanting MORE… shining the spotlight on the motivating forces that drive our lives. Spinning in and out of offices, bars and homes, emotions defy gravity and it's hard to keep your feet on the ground - in reaching for the next thing you risk losing everything.

Driven fuses live action and film, seamlessly integrating highly physical dance, breathtaking flying and striking theatrical imagery.

Think before it's too late slam on the brakes and feel the rush of what it is to be alive.

'The idea that's bandied around a lot these days is that we should all slow down and swallow a chill pill.  But that's missing the point - it's the driven people who get things done.  My view is that it's OK to be driven, but that you have to make the choice to be that way.  It can't just be a matter of habit.'
