Frock
Six striking dancers collide in an uplifting dance riot.
In this eccentric outdoor dance piece, experience playful observations of the yesteryears that explode into a punkish celebration of individuality and difference.
Castaway
The idea for CastAway manifested as a response to the ‘Great Pacific Garbage patch’. A floating island of everlasting plastic that has now grown to 6½ times the size of the UK. With the weight of plastic now greater than the weight of humanity CastAway will engage audiences in a spectacle that promotes debate and encourages inquiry- what better time than now to take action?
Incantatio
An intimate and immersive collaboration with musician Mathew Sharp and Orchestra of the Swan
The Enormous Room
In the latest epic production from Stopgap Dance Company, we follow a father and daughter gradually coming to terms with the loss of Jackie – their wife and mother. Combining exquisite detail in movement with evocative text and design, The Enormous Room takes the audience somewhere in between this world and the next.
Thoughtful, moving and uplifting, this is a show about saying goodbye and moving on.
Artificial Things- the film
Film Director Sophie Fiennes collaborates with Stopgap's Artistic Director Lucy Bennett to reimagine Bennett's performance piece 'Artificial Things', taking it out of the theatre and into an uncanny world that is both strange and strangely familiar.
Seafarers
A large scale outdoor dance production commissioned by Portsmouth festivities and the Norfolk production supported by the Norfolk and Norwich festival.
The Seafarers celebrates our relationship with the sea and the journeys we make across it. Part gig, part spectacle, the 50-strong cast travel to and from distant lands with a seafront as the backdrop.
Bill and Bobby
After a night on the town two revellers awake to find themselves in a bath… Convinced that the party is not over, the two friends play a tipsy tribute to the dancing partnerships of the silver screen.
Bill & Bobby celebrates a golden time of good old-fashioned entertainment, when dancing together and 'happily ever after' went hand in hand.
