Double Booking

In Double Booking two dancers pose as orchestra conductors in the midst of a major scheduling error. There’s only room for one of them, who (or what) will survive?

The piece will be structured around one theatrical conceit: two orchestral conductors (performed by Holt & Sikorski) have been booked for one concert. The audience never sees the orchestra or the concert, instead the performers launch into an unpredictable and chaotic sequence: a combination of naturalistic, abstract and choreographic scenes which both explain and complicate the situation.

Integrating BSL throughout the process, the piece will delve into ideas of translation: the translation of art forms -  dance, music and words - and the translation of language - English and BSL.
