DAVID HUGHES DANCE

DavidHughesDance Productions presents a quadruple bill performance of dance with original commissions. This is an intimate evening with the veteran Hughes, a chance for him to share with us his physical heritage and unrivalled dance experience.

Cesc Gelebert choreographs ‘The Measurer’; an alchemist, tailor and measurer of all things.
Siobhan Davies creates ‘L’Apres-Midi d’un Faune’. This is her modern take on the famous Nijinsky Ballet, an exploration of stillness.
Christopher Bruce’s ‘Hurricane (A Pantomime)’ masterfully employs Commedia dell’Arte in the examination of the story of American boxer Reuben “Hurricane” Carter.
Start time 8:00pm, tickets £10 (OAPs £8, under 18s £5)
DavidHughesDance is supported by the Scottish Arts Council and the Traverse Theatre.

DOGSTAR THEATRE – JACOBITE COUNTRY
- a new comedy with live music by Henry Adam
“…a dramatist full of skill and courage, and that deep sense of dramatic structure that some writers struggle a whole lifetime to learn.”The Scotsman on Henry Adam
Jacobite Country is an alternative Highlands – still the same beautiful scenery, but the locals tend to live in council houses, drive their clapped out cars very fast and drink in bars with Confederate flags on the wall. In that respect it’s quite like the real Highlands. An ensemble piece for actor-musicians performed in a direct, irreverent style, Jacobite Country will challenge perceptions of mental illness and poverty while making people laugh.
