THE FARMCOCKFIGHT
Two blokes in an office. One older, one younger, each body pushed to its limits. A cross between The Office and an Australian cage-fight, this game of comical one-upmanship builds to a moment of impact where everything is suspended. A flash of bared teeth, the need to prove yourself versus the need to hold on to what you’ve got.
Skilfully enacting a full-throttle mash-up of extreme physical risk-taking, graceful movement and slow-mo fight sequences, this darkly humorous and surprisingly tender piece of dance theatre by The Farm sees long-time collaborators Joshua Thomson and Gavin Webber reassess who is in charge.
Originally commissioned by NORPA and supported by DanceNorth, Townsville; the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Cairns (COCA); Arts Queensland and the Australia Council for the Arts, and toured by Performing Lines. The Farm is supported by the Gold Coast City Council. UK tour is funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and presented by Dance Touring Partnership.

ALEXANDER WHITLEY8 MINUTES
Space exploration ignites our imagination and reshapes how we understand ourselves and our place in the universe. Fresh from a sell-out at Sadler’s Wells, Alexander Whitley takes inspiration from the stunning images and data produced by solar research scientists from STFC RAL Space for his new work.
With a specially created score by electroacoustic music innovator Daniel Wohl and an installation of high-definition imagery from BAFTA award-winning visual artist Tal Rosner, 8 Minutes captures our curiosity and wonder for this unimaginably vast subject.

ANIMUS
A Musical by Michael Webborn and Daniel Finn
Director: Simon Grieff
London, 1757.
Following the death of wealthy merchant Ernest Donne his three children bicker over their portions of his estate. In a patriarchal society, the sole male heir expects to receive his father’s business, but those gathered to hear the reading of the will are stunned to learn that Cotton Wharf, and control of its warehouses, will instead pass to Charlotte, the eldest daughter…
Caught in a time of immorality, keeping company with murderers, liars and thieves, can Charlotte survive long enough to take revenge on those who would see her dead simply for being a woman surpassing her station? In a city rife with danger and degenerates, can she stay pure and resist corruption, or will each encounter change her further from her former self?
From the award-winning team Webborn and Finn, creators of The Clockmaker’s Daughter, comes a musical not to be missed – full of plot twists, dramatic turns and lyrical music.

If education is about opening one’s eyes to different worlds, and deepening our understanding of them, then Trinity Laban certainly did that for me. Without question it changed my life, through information, introductions and inspiration.
Studying at Trinity Laban was such a rewarding experience. Full of opportunity, passionate teaching and inspiring surroundings.
