Table Manners

Table Manners is Avant-Garde Dance Company’s stunning outdoor performance for 2017.

Set around, on and underneath a long dining table with raw and complex choreography. The show explores the complexities of human relationships and behaviour when it comes to our very different cultural connections with food and dining.  Avant Garde invites audiences to join in play, banter and feast together as we turn the tables on what is assumed to be ‘polite’ in various dining contexts.

Avant Garde Dance Company is at the forefront of London’s innovative Hip hop/ Contemporary Dance scene. The company was founded in 2001 and is led by Artistic Director Tony Adigun.

Having gained extensive experience in the world of commercial dance, Tony set out to transform a group of hip hop dancers into a unique company that could also explore contemporary influences and create a more unusual, abstract and artistic practice. The company’s dynamic performances explore a myriad of styles, themes and media, whilst embracing different genres and forms of music, dance, literature, circus and digital work.

The mantra ‘Innovate Never Replicate’ is evident throughout the work as the company embraces a sense of difference, individuality and uniqueness.
