Delve into a ‘total experience’ of live performance, spoken word, sound and video as Dutch-Flemish dance company WArd/waRD create an impactful ten-day performance installation.
Ann Van den Broek’s practice forensically explores human behavioural patterns, states of mind and feelings through observing, isolating and analysing emotions over a concentrated period of time. Using her most recent work Accusations (2017) as a starting point, the installation focuses on the exploration of emotional behaviours and how they translate into movement.
Once a day, five performers will present an adapted version of Accusations in a promenade style performance. A selection of extracts from this work are also projected on and performed around several screens, creating a web of video, choreographed performance and sound.
Performances take place throughout the day. Please check the schedule for timings here.
Parental guidance: 16+.
Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult.
Elements of this performance exhibition contain challenging content with scenes of a sexual nature that some viewers may find upsetting.

Listen: Guest Picks - Ann Van den Broek
Choreographer Ann Van Den Broek shares some of her favourite music in our Guest Picks playlist. Music plays a big role in her work, not only as an inspiration but also featuring in her work itself. For Ann this music gives comfort and consolation.
