STDMA’s outdoor performance season kicks off this month, with new pieces from C-12 Dance Theatre, Nuno Silva and Marc Brew. Company Chameleon is also on the road, with a new piece premiering next month as part of Greenwich & Docklands International Festival. Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival will be particularly exciting for me, with no fewer than four STDMA clients performing over the weekend 24 & 25 May.

C-12 Dance Theatre is first out the gate, performing Market Stall this weekend as part of Wandsworth Festival. An inclusive, high octane outdoor work for families, Market Stall incorporates circus skills, parkour and dance performance around a fully functioning market stall set. Here is C12 rehearsing Market Stall earlier this year. Video of Market Stall performance in Northumberland earlier this year.
C-12’s repertoire also includes the company’s run away success Trolleys, winner of the Argus Award for Artistic Excellence at the Brighton Festival in 2012. This is C-12 performing Trolleys in Holland last year. “it’s rare that an everyday, mundane activity perfectly moulds with something as seemingly elite as ballet or modern dance” Brighton Argus.
