Swerve Dance Theatre Company celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a chronological show revisiting its repertoire and a new live work, followed by a Q&A.
Swerve Dance Theatre Company are back at Swindon Dance on Friday 13 November with TWENTY: The Story So Far, a show that marks twenty years since the company first started. It's a chronological look back at their work, and they've described it as a living archive of the stories, relationships and places that have defined their journey.
The performance blends the old and the new: they'll be revisiting film and repertoire from their back catalogue alongside a brand-new live work and a dance film. There's also a special re-working of a 2013 piece, performed by selected students from the Swindon Contemporary Programme of the Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) and choreographed by Artistic Director Helen Ganberg. It's recommended for ages 8 and over, so it's one you can bring the younger ones to.
Swerve describe the show as a heartfelt celebration of their work, rooted in people, place and shared experience, staged two decades after they began. The chronological format means you'll see the company's history unfold in order, with the earlier stuff and the newer pieces sitting side by side. The whole thing runs for about an hour, followed by a 20-minute Q&A, so you'll have a chance to hear from the people behind it after the curtain goes down.
