Back to the Lab 2020: Here are the choreographers who will be bringing their visions to life with us in the new year. Tickets will go on sale closer to the show in January. @pervezlive2break will be working with @scannersinc @billybiznizz as The Style Years. No doubt taking it back to the Covent Garden days in their vision! @shaadowsefiroth founded & created @noesisx and needs no introduction. Running a conceptual and cutting edge choreographic concept company, what direction are they going to take us in? @whadup_cat @nobleherogold from Austria you may know from @hungrysharkscie. These two are our European guests sure to bring their years of continental experience to the stage. @nathan.lafayette has performed at Breakin’ Convention as far back as 2009 and has been developing his hip hop theatre repertoire the past few years with the likes of @artists_4a and @kre8kre8. Let’s do this! #breakinconvention #backtothelab #hiphoptheatre #choreography #dance #jonzid #sadlerswells

Yeah man, yeah man! Aeroplane Man is about to touch back down in London Town, 22-23 October as part of Out of the System: Mixed Bill at @bgacentre2007 for @DanceUmbrellaUK. A very limited showing of a seminal piece of hip hop theatre. Get your tickets now via the link in bio. It's part of a sublime bill: From a hip-hop theatre classic to stripped back dance solos, Mixed Bill brings together four highly personal dance works by THĒO INART, @beckynamgauds, @ffioncampbelldavies & @tyroneisaacstuart and @JonziD. These performances turn their gaze on society, exploring the human body, how we interact and the search for identity and belonging. Make sure you don’t miss this. #jonzid #aeroplaneman #hiphoptheatre #danceumbrella #DUFest19 #outofthesystem #theatre #dance
