Collect and Go is a light-hearted disruption of everyday life. Two characters in bright yellow skip down the High Street, look for each other at a road crossing and meet on the way to the shops. Passers by add to the "score" of the "performance", their bodies and actions acting as new information which is layered into the dance.

Name of the Piece: Ric and Elsa
Choreography: Corinne Jola
Dancers: Riccardo Buscarini and Elsa Petit
Music: Wax Taylor (Mix)
Ric and Elsa is a story about and for the people on New Cross Square.
New Cross Square is a place where the homeless, jobless and alcohol addicts gather. When I rushed into the corner shop too hungry to cycle home, I felt that while I was craving for food and a safe journey home, the people on New Cross Square desired not just another drink but friendship, love and support.
Ric and Elsa perform drunken falling and stumbling into support, friendship and love. My aim was to communicate to the audience by reflecting their situation, to remember people of their hopes and dreams and to let it live at least for the short time of the dance.

Website: www.coopercreate.co.uk
An energetic dance theatre piece created specifically for the site. Choreographer Helene Cooper spent three days in the site taking in the surrounding environment, adjusting to the ways of the local people and creating a physical response which served as the final performance. The piece reveals the fun we can have in merging with our surroundings and the subtleties between everyday live and dance.
