SWISH looks at all things clothes - How they make us feel, the nostalgia of garments past and present and those awful trends we’ve all fallen victims of.
This show is an explosion of colour and style, performed by 4 charismatic dancers accompanied by some unruly mannequins, the audience will be taken on a whirlwind adventure from Bowie to Beckham, workwear to Couture & everything in between. We explore the intimacies’ that surround what we wear and how it shapes who we are.
We bring sparkle to those cringe worthy clothing disasters, sharing some of the worst fashion faux pas through dance! Not forgetting the heart warming memories and those outfits that make us feel fabulous!
Alongside the show sits a clothes swap! Bring those unwanted loved clothes and swap them for some new gems!
Football. Some love it, others loathe it, but we can’t deny that it is somehow present in all of our lives. The Beautiful Game is a laugh-out-loud look at Britain’s undying obsession with football, celebrating everything from weird match day rituals to ridiculous arm chair punditry.
Passionately performed by four females, The Beautiful Game will lead you through the highs and lows of being a British football fan. It may even attempt to explain the offside rule.
Made in collaboration with die-hard football fans and players, The Beautiful Game delves directly to the heart of football. Packed with unforgettable goals, set to a backdrop of chant-a-long hits and full to the brim with nostalgia this show will have you casting your mind back to fixtures gone by.
It is a show for all the family, both the fanatic and the impartial spectator. Even if you don’t like football, even if you despise football, The Beautiful Game will persuade you of its charms.
Home was performed at the Nottingham Playhouse in July 2017. We were commissioned by Nottingham Playhouse to work alongside Fiona Buffini to create a dance theatre production that explored the theme of Home and communities from Nottingham's perceptions of it..
What does Home mean to you?
A place you look forward to being in? A place you can’t wait to leave? Thoughts and feelings of real Nottingham people about home have inspired this beautiful and funny piece of theatre, directed by Fiona Buffini in collaboration with Next Door Dance.
Who does the washing up? Are you a clothes neatly folded or a thrown on the floor person? How does the home help you to unwind from a long day at work? Do you live in a showroom or in chaos?
All these questions and more explored to create an illuminating and enjoyable journey through the lives of Nottingham people and what home means to them. Come along and make yourself at home.
In June 2014 we collaborated with New Zealand based choreographer, Sasha Copelnad to create Jam on a Tram; a live dance performance which took place across Nottingham's tram network.
On a busy summer Saturday, the general public of Nottingham experienced an extraordinary journey as their tram ride was brought to life by the members of Next Door Dance. Using physical comedy and high-energy, Ten dancers created outrageous scenarios through physical comedy
Choreographed by New Zealand dance artist Sacha Copland, expect high energy, physical comedy and outrageous scenarios as the Collective interact with one another and the many unsuspecting audience members. Performances will take place between 11am-4pm on routes throughout Nottinghamshire.
