Bread & Goose
The Incurable Imagination of Anthony Jones

This is a story about memory and what happens when we lose it.

Anthony is trying to bottle lost memories and restore them to their rightful owners. Edna has lost her memory and doesn't know who she is anymore.  In a thought provoking piece Bread & Goose take an interactive journey into the human mind, in an exploration of what it means to have dementia.

Bread & Goose create engaging journeys in non-traditional theatre spaces. Their work is curious, playful, and often asks audiences to take the lead by participating and responding to what is unfolding on stage.

Sean Tuan John and Bert Van Gorp THE VIOLENCE OF SUMMER

Cardiff based choreographer, film maker and director Sean Tuan John and the Flemish choreographer and performer Bert Van Gorp have had a long history and a significant international presence on the dance scene. They are known for their wild, un-compromisingly distinctive shows that celebrate the excesses of contemporary life.

Sean and Bert question contemporary and cultural assumptions about the outsider in society. For this research period they have decided to start their investigations with sociological research on the term 'deviance'.

They looked at historical and contemporary definitions and media reports of real criminal court trials of men who would be defined as deviants and incarcerated for their crimes, or for their eschewed damaged view of the world.  This work in development steers their research and work into new unexpected directions and aims to discover whether monsters can ever be human?
