Candoco Dance Company 2008-09: The Perfect Human / Still

Performing live at London's Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall 24 - 25 February

'The company for which choreographers reserve their wildest and often most inventive work' (Observer).

The Perfect Human is choreographer Hofesh Shechter's dynamic exploration of the body; a dark unsettling piece of intense, relentless and powerful movement by UK's hottest young choreographer. His work can also be seen in E4's Skins.

In Still, hedonist Nigel Charnock (DV8 founding member) takes the dancers and audience into a world of love and loss, lust, addictions and obsessions. A chaotic, wild and humourous piece using a unique blend of morbid irony and black comedy.

CandoCo Dance Company are the leading contemporary dance company of disabled and non-disabled dancers, who recently performed at both the Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremonies in Beijing 2008.

the throwing up was a reference to the british youth culture and clubbing culture... hence the dancing, throwing up and sexual scenes

nigel charnock is fantastic, not a lot of people understand his work until they know what its about and i think thats great

if you want to download the video youll probably have to get permission and reference it
