Above Me The Wide Blue Sky
If who we are and what we call home is interwoven with nature, what happens when everything starts to change?
Performed within a stunning multi-screen film installation, with a soundscape of birdsong, electronic music and a new score for string quartet, Above Me The Wide Blue Sky draws together stories of love, loss and belonging from an everchanging world. A long awaited follow-up to their critically acclaimed On Ageing in 2010.
The installation is open to ticket holders before and after the performance.

Inua Ellams interview during rehearsals for Knight Watch in June 2012.
In a world where tower blocks are stone mountains and city walls are urban tapestries retelling epic fights, Michael keeps away from the warring tribes until a passerby helps him out of a tight situation. Instantly, he is pulled into the gang culture he has tried to escape. The city spirals out of control as battle lines are drawn but will Michael succeed in ending the war?
In rhythmic, sizzling poetry, and with a live soundtrack from drummer Aki Fujimoto and flautist Mikey Kirkpatrick, Inua Ellams (The 14th Tale, Black T-shirt Collection) conjures the violence of a city not unlike London and imagines a more beautiful world beyond it.
Uninvited Guests stage an event that is somewhere between a wedding reception, a wake and a radio dedication show. We speak of our own and other's loves - deep, passionate, ambivalent and unrequited - and dedicate songs to them.
Knight Watch rehearsal interview with Zashiki Warashi, drum and flute duo consists of Akinori Fujimoto (drumkit) and Mikey Kirkpatrick (flute).
Knight Watch
In a world where tower blocks are stone mountains and city walls are urban tapestries retelling epic fights, Michael keeps away from the warring tribes until a passerby helps him out of a tight situation. Instantly, he is pulled into the gang culture he has tried to escape. The city spirals out of control as battle lines are drawn but will Michael succeed in ending the war?
In rhythmic, sizzling poetry, and with a live soundtrack from drummer Aki Fujimoto and flautist Mikey Kirkpatrick, Inua Ellams (The 14th Tale, Black T-shirt Collection) conjures the violence of a city not unlike London and imagines a more beautiful world beyond it.
The 14th Tale, presented by Fuel, tells the hilarious exploits of a natural born mischief growing from the clay streets of Nigeria to the rooftops of Dublin, and finally to London.
Combining comic dialogue with deft and beautiful poetry, Ellams vividly brings to life the characters that punctuate his upbringing, offering an intimate account of the trials of adolescence and what it means to be a young, black male in London today.
'Creates whole worlds through the voice of a single performer.' The Scotsman
'Im from a long line of trouble makers, of ash skinned Africans, born with clenched fists and a natural thirst for battle, only quenched by breast milk.'
First commissioned by the Wellcome Collection in London in 2008, Stilled is a durational dance piece (performed for between 3 and 12 hours) and an exhibition of pinhole photographs. The dance is performed not only for a human audience, but also for an audience of pinhole cameras.
During the performance, these cameras take long exposure photographs of the movements taking place, which are developed and then displayed as part of the event.
In Stilled, the audience witnesses the performance taking place, and they see the strange, often abstract images that bear witness to earlier improvisations.
Stilled is a meditation on the nature of perception: of taking time to become visible, taking time to be present, taking time to look, and taking time to see.
