Dance Out in Isolation

Dancing Out while Dancing In

During this time of social distancing and self isolation my inner philosopher has awoken, so I ask you this…

Why is it that when we dance alone in our kitchen we do the best dancing we ever do?

It’s not something we have to learn to do, it’s instinctive, it’s primal, it’s the “inner you” expressing itself in socks on a tiled floor to a classic banger or sing along anthem.

A dance floor can be where ever you want it to be, a kitchen, a hallway, a bedroom, but a real ‘dance floor’ is where individuals come together and, collectively, dance individually (I’m getting so meta on this)

So where is this dance floor in this new socially distant world? How can we move to the same beat, the same rhythm? Do you need special training to join in?

The dance floor is virtual, it’s where you make it, collectively tuning into the same social media platforms, allowing everything you know about dance to just come out.

This is you, this is us, dancing in our kitchen/hallway/bedroom, feeling our way through this time and space by doing some high kicks and throwing some shapes on a Friday night for 30minutes.

See you every Friday night @ 7.30pm until some indeterminate date in the unknown future

Body Brothers

Body Brothers

The Body Brothers are fascinated by the most amazing machine in the universe: the human body! They love coming up with dances about different body parts – from the brain to the bum! Luckily, they have a friend who can help. Auntie B is an inventor with a workshop packed with models and machines, and just about anything she needs to explain the workings of your body. The body brothers also get inspiration from watching their favourite shows, Anatogirl, Body Battles and Cook It. A lot can happen in an episode, but it always ends with a dance!

Champions of Dance

CHAMPIONS OF DANCE

Presented by National Lampoon.

Bombastic and fantastically flamboyant dancing duo Famous Seamus and Sean-tastic have teamed up with comedy powerhouse National Lampoon to create a dance-fantasy-opera of pure comic mayhem! In this farcical origin story the brothers transcend time and theatre convention with hilarious and surreal physical comedy.

Guided by their impassioned Momager, the dysfunctional family are charged with defeating a secret organisation whose sole aim is to destroy dance. Catapulted towards destiny as the chosen ones, our heroes must tackle a family feud, save the very soul of the world and pick the right outfit.

NYC dreams

The American Dream

CHAMPIONS OF DANCE (our new show which isn’t yet launched) has had multiple phases of development. This week saw the two of us meet up with the rest of the American team. This really is set to be

 “An Epic Saga of Two Brothers and their Destiny to DANCE!”

More news coming very soon…..

THE RETURN OF RIOT

Yes the rumors are true… the hit show, RIOT, is coming back to Dublin… thank God because everyone is always asking… “when is RIOT coming back?” it’s a great show but calm down people! It was a hit in New York, but it was a hit in Dublin first… get your tickets early cause this party is going to sell out… not to make you nervous or anything but you better get in there now!

RIOT has been a really really good time for us! We have a new gang and family in the crew and creators of RIOT.

THISISPOPBABY have shown us a new level of ambition and achievement… they are a special crew, we are lucky that Jenny Jennings saw us in Edinburgh and decided their new project RIOT needed clowns… “the world needs clowns” but they but us on the right stage and we have shone!
