Prancer the Dancer

Building a time machine in their bedroom, Prancer journeys to the future where they become a world famous star, Prancer the Dancer, and tear up the Blackpool Tower Ballroom with futuristic dance power. Come on the journey to find that confidence and in the process, revolutionise the world… Through the power of dance!

Emma directed Marlborough Productions’ joyous new piece of dance theatre for families and young audiences.

Celebrating movement, what dance moves are like in the future, how getting our bodies going could translate into renewable energy and seeing time travel as a useful exercise in confidence building. This is fun for all the family theatre, complete with next level dance moves and a smash hit disco party soundtrack!

A work in progress of Prancer the Dancer was originally commissioned by Fatt Projects in partnership with Cambridge Junction for ‘PALAVER’.

Cuncrete

Cuncrete is an act of deceptively sophisticated insurrection against the Man - in every sense. From the buildings the Man builds, to the language the Man uses, to the music the Man plays. It is also weepingly funny and dark and deadly. Of all the shows I saw in Edinburgh in 2016, it stands out as knowing what it’s about. And it’s about now. And it’s about time. 

- Tim Crouch

A drag king punk gig about architecture and idealism!

A dysto-utopian noise about The Man!

A no-wave musical about how we ended up in this mess!

Hosted by washed up architect/proto-god figure Archibald Tactful and accompanied by anti-virtuoso punk band The Great White Males - Cuncrete is a gratuitously sleazy and joyfully noisy critique of alpha-masculinity and the built environment. Expect original music, grotesque posturing, sharp suits and cement.

“An exhilaratingly bleak swansong for the grey, hard dreams of powerful men." ★★★★

The Stage

“Politically vital... somewhere between a howl of rage and a rallying cry."

Exeunt

Created by Rachael Clerke, I worked closely as Dramaturg throughout the creation of this fantastic show.
