Concrete Playground

One of the keys to successful collaboration is that everyone needs to bring something and preferably something unique, to the table. This is certainly the case with Branch Nebula: an ensemble that incorporates a martial artist, a designer, an acrobat, a footballer, a Parkour practitioner and a 'noicician', alongside your more traditional performers, stage manager, producer and dramaturg. Sweat blends these skills with a simple concept — 'life's tedious chores' — to create a relevant, contemporary and engaging performance that will literally have you off your feet.

Branch Nebula are dedicated to making work which presents a multifaceted take on contemporary culture. They seek to create an inclusive form of performance that celebrates diversity and engages with new kinds of audiences. And by all reports, they are doing an exceptional job of it. Sweat is certainly a performance that it would make no sense to miss.
