Synopsis

A dynamic and contemporary evening exploring the themes of language and communication using unique and explosive dance fused with witty and vibrant theatre.

Swerve Dance Theatre Company, an associate company of Swindon Dance, was founded by Helen Ganberg in Swindon in 2005 and performs exhilarating, varied and visual dance theatre that incorporates strong collaborations with music, design and text.
