“Fascinating loops and strivings and startlements that you evolve under an open sky”
Nicholson Baker on Tide
“A brilliantly playful duet, that’s so intimate that the audience become bystander participants in their relationship – not just breaking the fourth wall, but becoming it.”
Barry Church-Woods on You and Me, and You
"Lively toddlers lay, chins on hands, watching every movement with delight. Older watchers were fascinated by the ways in which sound could be drawn from such basic, everyday objects.”
Irish Examiner on A Dance Concerto
The Shake brings people together... to move, to dance, to vibrate. Whether ancient mysticism or the latest dance meme is your thing, The Shake will resonate with you. Part dance class, part concert, part hooley, we’re here to move on up and shake it out.
Guided by four performers, you can move at your own pace and choose the gear that suits you best, whether that's mellow, moderate or wild. Or do your own thing – originals are welcome!
