FEAST: A Triple Bill - Giselle, this time it’s about me, Dog eat dog & SKUMO
Winners of the South East Dance Brighton Fringe Bursary, FEAST: A Triple Bill presents works by promising new choreographers after rave reviews at Resolution Festival at The Place.
High energy dance, remarkable world building and clean partnering to dynamic soundtracks featuring Gorillaz, Nina Simone, Anna B Savage and more. Expect to laugh, cry and be moved by dance.
Reimagining the classical ballet Giselle, Hebe Salmon brings dark humour and a contemporary perspective to this tale of love and betrayal. A work where the female protagonist is not defined by relationships with men.
Enter the world of the filthy rich with harrynsmithy’s dog eat dog. A playful, satirical duet which explores the upper echelons of society but what happens when they bite off more than they can chew?
SKUMO, by Orla Hardie is a double act that delves into The Uncanny, that eerily familiar feeling. With a movement language inspired by animation and popping with texture, two clown-like characters teeter between despair and comedy, carving a window into the mangled unconscious.
Performing at The Dance Space on 9 & 10 May 7:30pm
Post-show talk on the 9th and pro-class lead by the team both show dates.

Below - Orla pitching her idea and work at the Reverse Pitch
This extraordinary red carpet event, took place on 23rd February at the Court Theatre, Swindon Dance, and was the epitome of creativity, innovation, and collaboration, tailored specifically for the young generation aged 14 to 20.
4 talented young choreographers, each armed with a 20-minute slot to captivate the audience of young people aged 14-20 with their ingenious pitches.
But here was a twist –
it was the young people that held the power to make a difference. They cast their vote for the pitch that resonated the most with them.
That pitch was by Orla.
Orla will receive a £2,000 commission and join Swindon Dance as an associate on our Professional Arts Programme for 2-years.
The Reverse Pitch will return early 2025.
