Efrosini Protopapa - Rules of Engagement

The piece draws from our experiences of cinema and our understanding of films in terms of narrative, representation and role-playing. After devising top-5 lists of our favourite or most memorable scenes from films, we re-enact these to tell personal stories and to re-invent them in performance.



Lapsus Corpi: A four-week residency at Dance4
Concept / Choreography: Efrosini Protopapa in collaboration with the performers.
Performers: Pano Masti, Susanne Mayer, Hester Montgomery-Campbell, Jarkko Partanen, Giorgos Pispinis, Elena Prapidi, Susanna Recchia.

The Post Show Party Show

Michael Pinchbeck
The Post Show Party Show




Award-winning writer and performance maker Michael Pinchbeck takes his parents on tour to recreate the post-show party where they met in 1970 after an amateur dramatic version of The Sound of Music. His mum was a nun. His Dad was a Nazi.

Mixing text from the past and present with movement to the real-time soundtrack of The Sound of Music, Michael Pinchbeck asks what is present and what is absent, what is professional and what is amateur. The Post Show Party Show receives its UK premiere after a sell-out performance at Springdance in Utrecht, Holland.

Nottingham Contemporary

That beautiful pale face is my fate (For Lord Byron)

26th July - 7th September 2008

International artists are taking part in an amorous seance, trying to establish contact with Lord Byron, both as he was in his lifetime, and as he might be today. Artists include:Goshka Macuga, nominated for the Turner Prize, 2008, David Noonan, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Pablo Bronstein, Marcia Farquhar, Blue Firth, Ulla Von Brandenburg and Linder.
Their work is set in the intimate surroundings of Byron's ancestral home, placed amongst his own possessions and portraits.


Marcia Farquhar



Sabastian Horsley

Byron was the adored celebrity of his day, loved by both men and women. Magnetic, scandalous, ambiguous, mysterious, rebellious, brave, beautiful, brilliant and destructive.
