VINCENT DANCE THEATRE 10th Anniversary Production
PUNCH DRUNK Artistic Director: Charlotte Vincent
Set Design: Richard Lowdon
Soundtrack: John Avery
Vincent Dance Theatre celebrates 10 years of making original, compelling and provocative dance theatre with a journey into the world of vaudeville and burlesque. Join the party as we tour our latest full-length live production PUNCH DRUNK.
We have created an online e.flier to give you a taste of the new production:
www.eflier.co.uk/punchdrunk (cut and paste the link into your browser if clicking on it doesn't take you there)
Against a backdrop of decaying grandeur, PUNCH DRUNK¹s six extraordinary performers move like ghosts through a disused theatre. Slipping in and out of half remembered acts, they piece together the tatters of a show long since past its prime. Emotionally raw and darkly humorous, PUNCH DRUNK exposes the blood, sweat and tears behind the risqué routines, acrobatic feats and clever turns.
Fresh from creating new work in Taiwan and Austria, Artistic Director Charlotte Vincent has assembled an international cast including Artistic Associate TC Howard, Polish VDT performers Patrycja Kujawska, Aurora Lubos and Janusz Orlik, Jerwood Award winning aerialist Lindsey Butcher, and Norwegian newcomer Geir Hytten.
