{Event} Firsts at the Royal Opera House


I found this cool event called Firsts at the Royal Opera House called Firsts, that we are going to tonight, so Becky, Sam and Alina and I are going tonight. It's a series of sorts and new performers showcase their art. Here is the program for tonight:
MILKWOOD RODEO

THE SUGAR BEAST CIRCUS
A performance inspired by holy men and Hollywood - an autobiographical fantasy capturing performers' memories of life on the road with an Indian circus. The piece fuses physical theatre and unique and elegant aerial work with animation and projection to create a strange reality. Milkwood Rodeo was developed with the support of The Roundhouse and Arts Council England.

SPILTMILK SAY DANCE

SPILTMILK DANCE
Performed by the award-winning Spiltmilk Dance company who use their distinctively quirky style to put a new spin on popular social dance crazes of the 20th century. Dance phenomena such as The Twist, Disco and Ballroom are re-imagined to create a completely new dance experience.

THAT WAS THE TIME I STOPPED

AMY BELL AND VALENTINA GOLFIERI
Surreal flights of fancy, fears and hallucinations are spliced together by two enigmatic figures to create a makeshift sense of reality. This is darkly humorous dance in stop-frame.

THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE

GENIUS SWEATSHOP
The Man Who Wasn't There is a glimpse into the life of 'Albert' - a man whose memories are fragmented and who is becoming increasingly drawn into a world of senile confusion. Albert's stories are told through a unique blend of puppetry and circus by London based company Genius Sweatshop. Genius Sweatshop has been gratefully supported by Crying Out Loud, La Breche (Normandy), The Blue Elephant Theatre, Ideas Tap and countless individuals.

Tickets: £5
Running Time: Approx 2 Hours | 2 Intervals
