Nearby Spring Loaded

Spring Loaded, The Place's annual festival of contemporary dance, bounces back to London this April, showcasing new talent in the dance world. Eddie Ladd kicks off the season with The Bobby Sands Memorial Race, a bilingual piece (in English with Welsh poetry by Menna Elfyn) about the hunger striker and keen runner, peformed on an outsized 12ft x 6ft running machine. This modern physical theatre piece is just a taster of the exciting array of dance you'll find at the Spring Loaded festival which runs from 10th April to 8th May. Since launching in 1987, Spring Loaded has been a spring board for many household names including Matthew Bourne, Wayne McGregor (resident choreographer of The Royal Ballet) and DV8 artistic director Lloyd Newson. This year's programme sees a return of Robin Dingemans' Not What I Had in Mind on 16th April, which premiered at last year's Spring Loaded and went on to earn Robin a nomination by the Critics' Circle National Dance Awards for Outstanding Male Performance. Bringing this year's Spring Loaded to a close, Ben Duke and Raquel Meseguer's company Lost Dog present Salvage, a follow-up to their critically acclaimed Hungry Ghosts, using the same style of blending movement, storytelling, and live music.About The Place
