Arlene Phillips CBE has been a trailblazer in choreographing for popular dance genres, from musical theatre to iconic pop videos, for over 40 years. Candoco Dance Company, the company of disabled and non-disabled dancers, is delighted to have commissioned Phillips to collaborate with Candoco dancers, Joel Brown and Laura Patay, in a new piece that seeks to play with and disrupt the structure of the traditional love duet. Drawing on a variety of dance genres the piece is set to be a potent and emotive exploration of how we fall in and out of love over and over again, often with the same person.

This piece is co-commissioned by Without Walls, Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Stockton International Riverside Festival and Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival
