Play, Pause, Repeat
Play, Pause, Repeat is a stunning programme showcasing some of the best, emerging dancers from the North East of England. Including two new commissions by former Rambert artist Patricia Okenwa and award-winning choreographer Jamaal Burkmar, Play, Pause, Repeat explores the complex and often contradictory nature of human connection and what makes us want to play, explore, learn and share again and again and again.

In The Messiest Drawer, we find clutter, tangles, precious knick-knacks - all the things we hang on to and the many stories that tell us why and how. As we unpack, rediscover, and reposition, memories bubble up and move us in many ways: from getting stuck in a moment to holding them dear to our heart.
