Over and Over (and over again)

Thu 20 Mar – Fri 4 Jul
Oslo, Ipswich, Brighton, Online, London
We are thrilled to announce the first UK performance dates of our new commission, Over and Over (and over again) in partnership with Dan Daw Creative Projects, before it embarks on its international tour in Spring 2025.

 

Experience a beat-driven, joyful journey to the perfect rave with Candoco Dance Company and Dan Daw Creative Projects.

Time stretches. The dance floor is a paradise. This moment is all there is. We are lifted by the lights, held by the music. Our hard edges soften and our hearts swell – finding place, finding ground, finding home.

Join Candoco Dance Company and Dan Daw Creative Projects on a journey to a place where everyone is welcome; where you love doing something so much that you never want to stop.

Told through Dan Daw’s unique blend of dance, narrative and iconography and Co-Directed by storytelling raver Stef O’Driscoll, ‘Over and Over (and over again)’ explores what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines to create our own dance-floor utopia.

 

 


 

‘Over and Over (and over again)’ is currently in the creation phase. Rehearsals started last November 2024 and will continue between January and March 2025.  We will host a preview performance on 20 March 2025 at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (Brighton), as part of South East Dance’s Undisciplined Festival and then perform at DanceEast (Ipswich) on 4 April 2025 and Sadler’s Wells East (London) from 2-4 July 2025.

As part of this creative journey, we’re also offering a workshop on 5 April at DanceEast (Ipswich). Inspired by the themes of Over and Over (and over again), this workshop explores spaces of belonging and how we meet our needs, moment to moment, through movement and dance.

In the meantime, you can also follow the creative process through our ‘Postcards From the Studio‘ series – our weekly updates written by our Co-Artistic Directors, Raquel Meseguer Zafe and Dominic Mitchell, offering insights into the creation of the work.
