Hofesh Shechter (formerly with Batsheva Dance Company) is a fast rising star of the UK dance scene. His work is supremely physical, embracing elegant stage compositions and charged with engaging ideas. Uprising is an energetic and muscular work for seven men. In your rooms is “an arrestingly powerful piece” (The Guardian) for 11 dancers and five musicians with an original score by the choreographer. Both pieces brim with playful, gritty physicality that is at times provocative, political and personal, presenting a society which is scarily alienating, yet shockingly familiar.
