After After | Presented by Dance Umbrella

Celebrated for his immersive and visually striking performances, Dutch artist Arno Schuitemaker brings seven dancers together beneath a single strip of light in After After.

As old ideas of progress and endless growth begin to fray, the performers claim a blank canvas and start to imagine what might come next. What if "the after" is not a future to wait for, but something to rehearse together? Drawing on the spirit of the dance floor, seven distinct voices and ways of moving unfold side by side. Through touch, attention and care, the dancers create a shifting field of difference, connection and possibility. An electronic score and striking lighting transform the space around them as small gestures gather momentum, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and exhilarating.

Exploring recreation in every sense of the word, After After is an act of reimagining, a celebration of pleasure, and a performance about the effort of making another kind of world imaginable.

This performance will be followed by a BSL interpreted Post Show Talk.
