"The show explores dance as a freedom practice and the innate need to move. It questions what dances the body remembers, and what brings people to the dance floor. By asking for what they need, dancing their histories and telling their stories, five dancers release their burdens and reach for something better - however fleeting."

"A journey from a place of hardness to a feeling of freedom where all armour drops away, Over and Over (and over again) explores what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines."

"This show is very much built from the lived experience of people in the room. Raving is very hard for D/deaf and Disabled/Crip people, the equity that we deserve in attending live events just isn’t there yet. Over and Over (and over again) isn’t heavy handed in the way it deals with this, but it does explore the limitations that we have put upon us by external factors that mean we don’t get the level of experience others do."

"Each phase of the night is considered, with projections provided to summarise the emotions displayed. We visit abandon, chill out, second wind, and finally solitude, the performance ending with an extraordinary fluid piece from James Olivo which deserves special mention."

"A rave space is often a space for people to find a release from the everyday pressures of society. With the right people, right vibe, right environment it can foster community, connection and liberation. But unfortunately we live in a world where rave spaces aren’t accessible for everyone so we are exploring what they could be like if they were."
