The following press release for Snag Dance Project at Clore/Royal Opera House this Saturday, 22 March:


ROH2 presents
SNAG

The Guardian:
"the way the group interact is a lesson in collaborative stage chemistry. The women are minutely sensitive to each other's moves, and details in their joint performances are breath-taking."
"DJ Dave Beer mixes a sharp, clubby sound while Charles Kriel mixes an even more compelling video backdrop. The scale of his images (canyons, galaxies, electric storms) feels like a gale of fresh air."

If you missed Snag at the QEH then this is your Second Chance Saturday!

Saturday 22nd March at 8pm Clore Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House

Choreographer Sarah Warsop gets the dream team for her new work ?Bye?, a bold collaboration between choreographer, DJ and VJ. Charles Kriel, dubbed 'the world's biggest live improvisational video montage creator' or VJ Kriel for short,?plus internationally renowned DJ Dave Beer of backtobasics infamy, join Snag's world-class dancers for 25 minutes of push and shove, mixing it live onstage.
Joanne Fong puts her emotions on the line with 'Lonely Hearts, Suspicious Minds?, a mad miasma of misunderstandings and mirth, featuring the songs of Elvis, crooned and marooned onstage by a cast of?5 dancers.

Joanne Fong and Sarah Warsop, known for their dancing with Rambert, Arc, and Siobhan Davies, formed Snag in 2000 as a platform for their contrasting choreographic work.

The performances include duets 'Orange Gina'?and 'Sleep Talking', the solo 'Flap' with visuals by VJ Kriel accompanied by award winning guitarist Abigail James, and the two new works, Bye and Lonely Hearts,Suspicious Minds.

Sarah and Joanne are joined onstage by Diana Loosmore, Pari Naderi and Catherine James.

"Bye, is enlarged dramatically by the contribution of two other artists on stage. DJ Dave Beer mixes a sharp, clubby sound while Charles Kriel mixes an even more compelling video backdrop." Judith Mackrell

Snag have performed at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Tate Britain,? Greenwich Dance Agency, and?Portugal?s International Almada Festival.

Snag is supported by? ROH2, Southbank Centre and London Arts.
