You And I Know

From the ballroom to the Brit Awards, Arlene Phillips has been a trailblazer in choreographing for popular dance genres for over 40 years. We are delighted to have commissioned Phillips to collaborate with Candoco dancers, Joel Brown and Laura Patay, in a romantic duet told through a series of vignettes set across time.

Danced with passion and sensitivity to a collection of pop songs, Joel and Laura offer audiences a potent and emotive exploration of how we fall in and out of love over and over again, often with the same person.

Love is an emotion we can all identify with and in this duet we will be inviting the audience to explore its complexities and how our daily routines can sometimes shape our relationships.

You and I Know will throw out the rule book and inspire audiences around who can dance and what dance can be.

Watch three short films that go behind the scenes with Arlene Phillips and the team.

…this is a little marvel of compression: strong, supple and sexy

A perfect example of people being “differently able”, extending the possibilities and creativity of their dance
