Get Lost

Get Lost is an exciting dance adventure to be enjoyed by all, full of magical contact work, silly slapstick tricks and captivating chaos.

Help two happy hikers on their way and dive into a wholesome, high-energy dance adventure, where tents can dance and massive maps swamp the land. Get Lost is about encouraging curiosities, igniting adventures and pushing past stereotypes.

As the story unfolds (literally, the dance floor is a huge unfolding map!) the relationship between the two relatable characters is ambiguous. The two dancers are empathetic, hyper, soft and tactile as they support, celebrate and solve their way through this wholesome yet high energy performance.

Get Lost advocates for more platonic touch between men and masc presenting people and showcases positive ways they can use touch to encourage healthier interactions.

Vermin

Besotted couple Billy and Rachel have a rat problem. But lurking below the floorboards of their first home together is a much darker, deep-rooted horror the couple must confront – no matter how damaging or deadly. VERMIN is an unsettling, unrelenting and heartbreaking dark comedy that peels back the layers of unchecked grief.

Following a runaway Edinburgh Fringe success, VERMIN is presented by The REcreate Agency in collaboration with multiple award-nominated and critically acclaimed theatre company Triptych Theatre.

“It taps into a deeply rooted fear, not only of that which creeps, crawls and scuttles beneath the floor and within the walls, but of that which festers and broods in those closest to us” – British Theatre Guide.

Accelerator

Accelerating artists’ and producers’ ideas through tailored support, mentorship and paid incubation time. A new artist development project supporting four artists and four producers

– a system that can tell you everything that you’ve ever inherited but will they overcome their generational cycles in time to save their relationship?

Blueprints

BLUEPRINTS, a new show about beginnings, knowledge, and ancestral inheritance follows Adam & Faith, a black Caribbean couple who undergo a blueprints experiment to learn what behaviour/trauma/mindsets they’ve inherited from their ancestors. With this new info, we watch the couple decide if it’s morally right to have a child or if there’s a way to break free from cyclical fates, this afrofuturistic play asks if we’re physically able to choose our own destinies or if we can stop generational cycles that no longer serve us.

Are you destined to repeat ancestral patterns forever?

If you could know the entire history of your bloodline, and everything you’re passing on to your children, would you want to know? Welcome to the Blueprints programme, where we can protect you from the past because, after all, knowledge is power. Right?

Zigazigah

ZIGAHZIGAH is a show about communal joy, friendship, and Spice Girls. Inspired by interviews with hardcore Spice Girls fans, and a life of being one myself, the show will follow a group of friends who reunite to see their favourite band, and it will ask the age-old questions ‘What actually is Girl Power? And why do we still love Spice Girls so much?’

In 2019 I saw Spice Girls with my best-friend-from-primary-school. It was the most theatrical experience I’ve ever attended. A mass of mostly women took over Manchester. You could hear the bellows of Girl Power across the city. I scribbled loads of drunken phone notes about female power, rage, and dancing and vowed to make a play about it.

The story follows 5 friends as they get ready to reunite for their third trip to see their favourite band. Will their wounds be healed by full-velocity commercial pop power? They’ll try, but things aren’t as simple as their primary school days.

There will be dancing, singing, laughing, crying and probably quite a lot of those light up sparkly stick things that you wave in the air. Oh, and Girl Power. Loads of that.

Doubles

Doubles brings bursts of colour to the streets in a collision of dance and ping pong. Watch as the dancers spin and slide in this playful pop-up performance that smashes expectations of dance and advocates the importance of safe, positive and accessible public spaces.

Inscribed in “Me”

Inscribed in “Me” is a visceral journey that explores the weight of personal, historical, and collective trauma through movement, voice and music.

Questioning the complex experiences of Black womxn, it bears witness to a continuous pursuit to find healing and self-authorship.

“I” as the creator presents “Me” to you all. “Me” which is made of multiple narratives, constructed of multiple perspectives, many of which “I” have not inscribed. So how do “I” find the tools for reinscription? Or do “I” make peace with the parts of “Me” I’d rather erase?

Duration: 50mins

Age Recommendation: 12+

Please note: This show contains themes of racial and personal trauma.

Summer Camp for Broken People

Summer Camp For Broken People is a dark comedy about rape, losing your mind and finding yourself.

After a violent sexual assault, a 40-something single mum thinks she’s ‘fine’ until an unexpected email sends her spiralling into a serious mental health crisis. This semi-autobiographical one-woman show is based on diary entries, letters and essays written during time in a psychiatric hospital.

Summer Camp For Broken People, a new show by Emily Beecher, shines a light into the darkest of places. It’s a bold, brave show about how mental illness infects our lives, our capacity for pain and, ultimately, what it takes to put a shattered spirit back together.
