Switch’ is a 75 minute double-bill of entertaining new dance work, an exciting collaboration between ACE’s directors Gail and Ian Parmel with guest choreographers. Six agile dancers push themselves to their physical limits in a sophisticated mix of dance, music and awe inspiring visuals. Watch ACE for a night of full-on dance to make you think and feel.

'Switch' Choreographed by Artistic Director Gail Parmel and dancers // Movement collaboration by Andile Sotiya

A highly technical, pure movement piece.  Dancers portray a circuit board; charging from a power source and transferring energy between each another.

'Listen' Choreographed by Douglas Thorpe with Artistic collaboration by Gail Parmel

An unsettling portrayal of modern day war, with impressive fast and precise phrases and eastern style ultra-controlled movement and mime. ‘Listen’ explores post-traumatic stress, flashbacks and power struggles within military and home relationships.

"The show was great - such fantastic dancers and the performance quality was excellent.  We loved the film work and the variety of musical influences.  A really enjoyable evening - especially for the young people from Salisbury Youth Dance Company - several of whom are going on to study dance further once they leave school." Wiltshire Dancing

"...Switch,  is brilliant- a dance number that  boundlessly reflects our lives as we  wake up each day enslaved by our need for electrical power,  a stream of raw energy and unfathomable rushes of digi-info." Click here for the full review by Richard Lutz
