‘After the Interval’ (2012) and its sequel ‘Before the Interval’ (2014), conceived and directed by Luca Silvestrini for award-winning HeadSpaceDance will be presented together for the first time giving you the chance to see them in their continuity. ‘Before the Interval’ will be available from Friday 7th April at 7pm BST.

‘After the Interval’ pins Silvestrini’s observational genius to satirising dancing life. A show about dance and dancers that opens with the performers’ curtain calls, who then answer audience questions, and continues with revivals of their past stage roles and steps. After the Interval brings to the fore the art of dance making and the backstage lives of dancers while celebrating Broom/Akrill’s 20 years joint career and the start of their company HeadSpaceDance.

“Funny and touching and very accessible, demystifying much of the jargon around ballet…”
★★★★ The Evening Standard on If Play is Play…

“Defying the odds with a philosophy and style of performance unlike any I’ve seen”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
