About Resolution: next steps

Discover the next generation of choreographic talent in a double bill showcasing emerging artists whose distinctive approaches to movement first caught our attention at Resolution Festival.

BLUEPRINT

Marking the choreographic ensemble debut of movement artist Lauren Scott, BLUEPRINT bridges the live immediacy of street dance cultures with contemporary theatre, interrogating the translation of underground dance practices into longer-form composition.

Anchored in popping, animation and hip hop, this quartet formalises street dance’s innate rules of engagement: active listening, call-and-response and rhythmic nuance. Driven by an immersive, hyper-textural electronic soundscape from composer Chloe Mason, Scott defines the precise intersections where distinct choreographic style and set movement meets raw, responsive improvisation.

BLUEPRINT explores how individual artistic voices converse on stage, speaking for themselves, while listening intently to an ever-changing context. Lauren Scott invites audiences into a fresh architectural vision for street dance on the contemporary stage.

CURTAIN CALL

This is it. The opening night. The director has finally created his magnum opus, “a work of impossible ambition.” Everything is primed to perfection. Then, at the half-hour call, suddenly the rights to their source material get revoked, and the entire cast quits.

What happens when everything that has been meticulously planned and accounted for, begins to crumble right before his eyes?

As the countdown to curtain-up continues, a highly strung stage manager and a relentlessly unforgiving interviewer force the director to question: was there ever actually going to be a show in the first place? 

About Seirian Griffiths

Seirian’s work has been shown across the UK and internationally, in 2026 creating Motor Cortex on Balletboyz, followed by Six Lethargies, in collaboration with Ivan Perez, for a run at Sadler’s Wells.
