Resolution 2027

1: A figure in a reflective tracksuit stands in the centre of a crowd of obscured people dressed in black in front of a concrete wall. 2: A woman stands at in front of outdoor shoulder-press exercise machine, in a park next to a residential street. She is wearing white old-fashioned clothes. Her arms are raised and bent at the elbows as she flexes her biceps shamelessly. Her hair is tied back, and she starring inquisitively at her left bicep. 3: A Black and white image with struck with the motion of flickering lights in an audience. In the foreground there are 5 glittering disco balls varying in size and with a dancer underneath captured in a motion.

sub(conscious) by +353

There are too many bodies on the stage, too many stories in the archives, too much noise in our ears.

Tracing rave as the echo of our world's history throughout the 20th century. Part-historical document, part homage, we’re looking beyond the ephemeral and into the future.

Join us as we explore rave cultures' lineage, journeying sonically and literally from Detroit to London in this large-ensemble contemporary work.

Virago by Esther Bedeau

Virago explores how physical strength, and muscularity are embodied by women.

Sparked by current conversations on weight loss culture and Gender Performativity theory, Virago asks the question, how can female performers celebrate physical strength, confidence and freedom in their movement whilst living in a culture that tells women to stay small?

Influenced by the masculine and feminine imagery found in renaissance artwork, two dancers find freedom, possibility and rebellion in their physical abilities, muscularity and dynamic movement.

About Esther Bedeau

Esther Bedeau is a North London–based dance and movement artist whose practice draws on ground based contemporary technique, floorwork, and elements of breakdancing. She develops choreography through improvisation, games, and rule-based structures rooted in contact work. After graduating from London Contemporary Dance School in 2026, she continued building a choreographic practice based in sculptural movement, set images and repetition, creating feelings of playfulness and gradual intensity. Interested in the combination between movement and music, Esther collaborates with composers and musicians to further immerse audiences in her work, inviting them to reflect on their own relationships and experiences.
