Hofesh Shechter

Rising star of the contemporary dance world, Hofesh Shechter presents his acclaimed works Uprising and In your rooms. Hotly tipped as dance’s next big thing – his work was recently seen by millions of viewers when he was commissioned to choreograph the opening dance sequence for E4’s hit TV series Skins.

In your rooms
In your rooms brims with gritty physicality and is at times provocative, political and deeply personal. Twelve dancers reveal their anguish, loneliness, love and pain through intricate, touching encounters in a society that is alien but shockingly familiar. The work features a hauntingly beautiful original score, created by Shechter in collaboration with Nell Catchpole (The Gogmagogs), performed live on stage by five musicians.

‘Probably the most important new dance work
to be created in Britain since the millennium’
The Observer 2007

Uprising
In Uprising seven men emerge from the shadows to bombard the stage with furious energy, bonding and sparring, making up and falling out. This highly charged work, set to a throbbing percussive score also composed by Shechter, leaves audiences buzzing.
