Roam,
a captivating journey performed by five stunning dancers plunges the
audience into a world of swinging sub-bass and complex percussion, with
especially commissioned tracks from producer/composer Shackleton and
drum&bass Sion.
Roam takes as its starting point the human requirement to explore
and experience, and incorporates the work of poet Rick Holland.
The piece explores the concept of roaming through life, according to founder and choreographer Tom Dale.
Tom Dale creates collaborative performance work through dance with
the aim of creating a unique and rich form of expression that reaches
out and excites new audiences.
Award winning dancer/choreographer Tom Dale founded the Tom Dale
Company in 2001. An involvement in electronic music encouraged Tom to
seek out a career in dance.
In 2006 he was a semi-finalist for the prestigious Place Prize with
Whose Futures in London and his company’s most recent work Rise was
featured as part of Spring Loaded 2008 following a UK tour and
successful run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He was part of Europe in
Motion, Spring Dance Festival 2009.
The piece was created with support from the Laban Theatre,
DanceXchange, Dance Digital, the Garrick Charitable Trust and Arts
Council England.
