Phoenix Dance Mixed Programme 2015

Phoenix Dance Theatre crosses the Pennines to Lancaster Arts at Lancaster University in December premièring two new dance works by female choreographers Sharon Watson and Caroline Finn alongside a double bill by Christopher Bruce CBE.

The works are presented as part of their Mixed Programme 2015 December 1-2 at the Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster.

Sharon Watson follows up her audience favourites Melt (2011) and Repetition of Change (2013) with TearFall, a piece that explores both the science and emotion of tears.

Set to an eclectic contemporary soundtrack, Bloom, by New Adventures Choreographer Award winner Caroline Finn, is an examination of how people create ‘façades’, behind which they can become the person they believe they should be.

The double bill by Bruce features Shadows, a brand new work created especially for Phoenix Dance Theatre and a restaging of his energetic study of life in the 1940s, Shift.
