Concrete Playground

We are curious and complex beings. For thousands of years, artists have drawn deep from the baroque well of intangible human nature, but equally fascinating are the patterns and quirks of our physical forms. No wonder great things evolve when art and medicine combine.

Sue Healey's work, The Curiosities, is a cutting-edge marriage of science and dance, exploring the awe-inspiring organs that we all possess. Her choreography is brought into the realm of viscera by four stunning dancers, Lisa Griffiths, Rachelle Hickson, Adam Synnot and Nalina Wait.

Joining Healey in her medical mystery tour are Prof Richard Harvey, a specialist in the heart's development, as well as a talented cabinet comprising composer Darrin Verhagen, digital animator Adnan Lalani and lighting designer Joseph Mercurio.

This is not anatomy for beginners, but rather the next stage in our quest for knowing inner space.


There will be an artist talk after the performance on Thursday 5th November.
