Melancholy | Jacksons Lane | 4 Nov
This is another from the previously mentioned Jacksons Five strand of shows from companies who are presenting new work, or who are new to Jackson’s Lane. This one is from an award winning company, Certain Dark Things, who explore the line between genius and insanity through puppetry, theatre and animation. See this page here for info and to book.

A Thread | Southbank Centre | 4 Nov (pictured)
This like an amazing piece from Jean Abreu. Part performance, part installation, it’s a spectacle in which a team of contemporary dancers interact with geometric sculptures by renowned Brazilian sculptor and visual artist Elisa Bracher, The show also features intriguing sounding music from Ukrainian composer Oleg Shpudeiko aka Heinali. See the venue website here for details.
