Fearless

2001-2002

A remarkable dance theatre production that had the versatility to tour to a range of likely and unlikely spaces! This incredible show toured nationwide from February 2001 to full houses and fantastic reviews.

'ANOTHER HIGH-ADRENALINE ENSEMBLE WHERE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH THE AUDIENCE AND PERFORMERS TO KEEP THEIR NERVE'

Fearless was a great success in venues ranging from Buxton Opera House to Chamberlain Square in Birmingham to St. Keverne Village Hall on the Lizard.

Fearless explored our phobias - fear of falling, fear of flying, fear of open or closed spaces and took place in, on and around an extraordinary set by arch collaborator, Simon Dormon.

In a turbine of extreme physical action the three dancers launched and hurled themselves across platforms, swung and shimmied on Escher inspired steps, and leaped and dived into a 'bouncy castle' pool. The language was by turns athletic and tender, poignant and funny; the sound world was a vibrant and eclectic mix of the teasingly familiar, the atmospheric, and the plain old sing along.
