Imagine a world where you can’t progress despite your best efforts to push forward.Award winning contemporary dance company VerTeDance have created a beautifully poignant piece about our lack of freedom, reclusion and our power to make decisions. The cast weaves around their own shadows whilst a live modern minimalist soundtrack by Clarinet Factory builds a fluid tension.

Reflexes, slants and curvatures; pushing off, tipping and falling – every imbalance is corrected and brought back to equilibrium. With theatrics, choreographic moments and subtle humor, Correction shows that the attainment of freedom often goes hand in hand with loss. But above all, it shows that lack of freedom to decide can also result in comfort, relief, familiarity and devotion – even happiness.

“A truly elevating piece of dance-theatre, in everyway, that might even change the way you see the world.”
Duska Radosavljevic, Exeunt magazine

“A perfect portrayal of humanity…”
Stuart Wilson, Edinburgh Fringe Reviews
