Performance
DisGo at Warwick Arts Centre
Thu 25 & Fri 26 Nov 7.45pm
Studio: £10.50 (£8.50)
Choreographer: Fleur Darkin
Choreography is more than something to look at. DisGo is vibration, sensation and chaos.
Dance at DisGo and create a unique piece of live theatre. Bringing you together with the Darkin Ensemble dancers, DisGo is framed by a combination of music, light, digital design and cutting edge contemporary dance.
Based on the spontaneous choreographies that happen on the nightclub dancefloors every Friday and Saturday night, the heart of DisGo is within the individual experiencing it. There are some rules and some mysteries. The cast dance raw and virtuosic choreography and the audience do as much, or as little, as they please, making DisGo an incredible interactive experience.
In the darkness and light, we play.
