As previously announced, the flagship performance of the season will be the long-awaited return of The Featherstonehaughs, who are presenting a new work entitled Edits. It has been 12 years since the all male company took to the stage on their own and, for Edits, Lea Anderson’s challenging, exciting and groundbreaking choreography is paired with stunning costumes by three times Oscar winner Sandy Powell and an original live score.
One of the most important figures in British contemporary dance over the last 25 years, Anderson uses a drastic and compelling new way of creating movement material to translate the conventions of film, photography and painting into dance. Stylishly drawing on the peculiar elasticity of filmic time Edits creates a totally original live world of its own.

Bharata Natyam is the oldest of all classical dance forms in India, known for its grace, purity and statuesque poses. At the forefront of the form in the UK, Sankalpam is working with artists from the fields of contemporary dance and theatre to push the boundaries of Bharata Natyam.
Corpo-realities is an intimate triple bill, commissioned artists include former Southbank Centre resident choreographer, Stephanie Schober, whose precise choreography exposes the performers’ desire to communicate with the viewer and others on stage and Luca Silvestrini of Protein, who uses social commentary and humour to translate familiar life stories into surprising works of dance theatre. For the third piece, Stella Uppal Subbiah, Co-Artistic Director of Sankalpam, has collaborated with theatre director Phillip Zarrilli on an encounter with the psycho-physical process of Abhinaya (internal acting).
