In 2007 the company received funding from Arts Council England, West Midlands to create a new work See, which was touredas a double bill with Decalage to six regional venues and Resolutions! Five out of the seven dates were sold outand the audience response was very positive.

Decalage: three dancers combine and exchange their talents and energies, resulting in an inter-fusion of hip hop, martial arts, body percussion, and physical theatre.
Dream worlds collide, imaginations meet,…and relationships emerge.
Decalage is as much about the relationships between the disparate skills of the dancers as it is about the interaction between their personalities. Finely crafted choreography never allows itself to over-shadow the compelling stories of the three characters, and the vocabularies with which they tell them. Humour reveals how the dancers reflect their true natures in the form of movement.

“Comes from an extract of a distant vision: The future human civilisation coping with the after-effect of a long ‘exposure’ to combined genetic and climatic changes, human errors, progress of the ecological system, and the consequent mutations. Communication, feelings and senses are altered: A world moving fast may soon come to a standstill, realising what it’s missing.”
