Masquerade

An excursion into the inner spheres of the sleeping mind

Masquerade is inspired by Freud’s interpretation of dreams and the Surrealist movement of the mid 20th century and its fascination with the subconscious, eroticism & death and the mystery of time.

Feasting the eyes and provoking the mind, six outstanding dancers aged between 25 and 60 will turn bone structures liquid and de- & re-construct bodies and their secrets.

Maresa von Stockert will collaborate with renowned SFX artist John Schoonraad, creative director of Lifecast Ltd. He will create delicately sculpted faces and prosthetics that will be brought to life by the dancers and become an integral and intricate part of the piece’s physical poetry.

Evoking vivid imagery from the beautifully macabre to the violently sensual, Masquerade invites you to leave the rules of reason behind and dive into a dreamlike world that gives free rein to the choreographer’s ‘scrupulously focused yet wildly hallucinatory’ (the Guardian) imagination.

Masquerade will be touring again in 2013, please check back for more details.

SEASAW

A coastal trail of dance, performance art and physical theatre vignettes and installations, SEASAW is inspired by the great diversity of what the sea and its shores mean to people and what draws us to the coast. Whether evoking a glimmer of the glorious bygone days of Victorian seaside attractions or provoking thoughts on current issues such as coastal erosion and water pollution, this is an unusual, contemporary take on the seaside fair.

Tilted Productions was invited to research & develop the first stage of SEASAW as part of Escalator Outdoors Arts and in association with Norfolk and Norwich Festival. The outcome of this research project premiered in Cromer in May 2010, where the beach and promenade were the locations and inspiration for this extraordinary seaside event.

The project sparked so much interest in the UK and France that we decided to fully develop the trail in 2011. We are delighted to announce that SEASAW will be presented from March - Sept 2012, including dates at NNF (Norfolk and Norwich Festival) and extensive touring dates in the UK and Europe.
