Spring Salon

The seasonal Spring Salon returns; an eclectic and energetic night of performances, where disciplines collide and coalesce. Lizzy Tan, SUUTOO, and William Joys will showcase new work, travelling between dance, cabaret, sound, and physical theatre.

Tan’s latest ensemble piece RODEO! draws on childhood memories of Texas. In Amateur Dramatics Joys becomes an architectural installation that questions authenticity and artificiality. SUUTOO’s SCREAMO conjures noise, light, and staging elements to play with expectation and subjectification.

Lizzy Tan is a dance artist and movement director based in London. Tan's creative practice and solo performances centre on the philosophy of image and representations of the femme performing body. Her solo and collaborative works have been performed in the US, UK and Germany.

Working through sound, poetry, performance, and visual material, SUUTOO composes works which explore intimate and collective transformation, engaging noise not just as sonic material but as a site of radical potential for alterity, eroticism, and fugitivity. All SUUTOO wants to be is free.

William Joys channels characters which arouse suspicion about the endorsement of authenticity over ‘artificial’ construction. He performs through layers of subterfuge, and through his own performance he becomes an object, which embodies the prop, the stage, the costume, in order to promote the art of actressing.
