Danceworks Double Bill: Wendy Houstoun & Gary Clarke

Gary Clarke: 2 Men & a Michael
Choreographed by Gary Clarke

Gary Clarke brings to the stage his comic duet 2 Men & a Michael, a dead pan send up of stand-up via Gilbert & George and Morecambe & Wise.

Dressed to KILL, two idiots are locked in a constant loop of shenanigans and nonsense where something means nothing and nothing is anything. Sharp, witty and incredible funny, this short work is crammed to the brim with snapshot moments and unfinished efforts.

Wendy Houstoun: Keep Dancing
Written and performed by Wendy Houstoun

Wendy Houstoun is a dance theatre artist who combines movement with text and meaning with humour. In her latest solo, Keep Dancing, computer talk gets demanding and the performer gets trapped inside her own construct.

Keep Dancing is all about persistence, age, visibility, inertia, fighting, surrendering, continuing and dancing.

'A maverick to the tip of her toes, [Houstoun] seems to reinvent herself for each new work...it's daringly brilliant.' Independent
