Hear Me offers a rich melange Becca Wood's in-the-round Instructions for re-membering (forwards): a slide show is arguably the most experimental work of the evening, dealing as it does with the absence of the expected, the way sound conjures presence for us, and the way our memories of places are embodied in the movements we share with others.

Passionless reflections; interesting conceits Heart and Legs – a work in three acts by three dancer-choreographers, a group of musicians and a film-maker – creates something of the ambience of a sixties-style ‘happening’. The analogy of ‘view master dance’ contained in the company name is entirely apt ... [more] |
