CandoCo is the world's leading professional dance company integrating dancers with and without disabilities. It is a repertory dance company presenting work on the middle-scale touring circuit, commissioned from leading choreographers across the world. Our funding will contribute towards core costs.
In Translation - choreographed by Emanuel Gat premiered in 2010 and is still part of Candoco Dance Company's current repertory.
Award winning choreographer Emanuel Gat delights with his attention to detail to create a beautiful, fluid sextet. Performed to a piano score by Johann Sebastian Bach, this intricate piece is built as a single sequence of movement that evolves and unfolds in duets, trios or solos.
'a pleasing slice of "pure" dance set to Bach' The Times May 2010
Imperfect storm by Wendy Houstoun premiered in 2010 and is still part of Candoco Dance Company's current repertory.
Renowned theatre and dance artist Wendy Houstoun combines movement with text and meaning with humour. In a performance loosely based on Shakespeare's The Tempest expect elaborate costumes and theatrical movements giving it a truly unique style.
'a wickedly urgent and gloriously ribald piece filled with beguiling movement and Monty Python-esque comedy'
