Set in a wrestling ring, join the lives of three brothers as one spends his first 24 hours in prison - electronica, dance and physical theatre tell the tale... Byron Perry, Gerard Van Dyck, Luke Hockley Set in a wrestling ring, Headlock combines physical theatre, text, choreography and visual imagery to catapult audiences into the lives of three brothers, as one of them spends his first 24 hours in prison.

KAGE creates genre-busting physical performance, recognised for extraordinary visual design, physical dexterity and humour. Headlock, is no exception. Its premiere garnered numerous awards, and was hailed a "wild, explosive, multi-faceted trip into the masculine psyche" (Melbourne Stage) and "a stunning piece of theatre" (The Sunday Age).

Expect bouts of pure adrenaline and electrifying physicality from Byron Perry, Gerard Van Dyck and Luke Hockley as they slam home the image of an incarcerated man on the edge of everything, who is up for anything.

The Fondue Set return with a dance work like no other!

Watch as The Fondue Set gets blown apart into tiny pieces and reformed spectacularly with the help of UK Director Wendy Houstoun. Heaps of new solos! Only some unison! New costumes and way more words!*

No Success Like Failure is part talent quest, part educational forum and part cabaret! A hilarious "How To" show that leaves you misguided, misdirected and on a crystal clear path to nowhere. There will be motivational dancing, negative cheering, successful snoring, hypnotism, word bingo and more! (and what on earth are they wearing?)

*and always retaining their signature theatricality and concern with engaging the audience, choreographic structures, interesting content and mighty ways of developing dance into new and unknown places.

Marlene Dietrich's life and songs perfectly captured in a tribute show by French chanteuse Caroline Nin Caroline Nin "simply sensational a hugely entertaining show"

The Advertiser (Adelaide)

From the 30's to the 50's, Marlene Dietrich was the ultimate symbol of "femme glamour" meets "femme fatale". The extraordinary Caroline Nin uses song, spoken word and video to capture both sides of the Dietrich persona, set against the backdrop of her anti-Nazi campaign during World War II.

Her songs became the soundtrack to a world in turmoil, establishing new standards like Lili Marlene, The Boys In The Backroom and They Call Me Naughty Lola on both sides of the front line.

Nin draws on Dietrich's life and music to paint a warm, three-dimensional portrait of a passionate and witty woman who became both icon and hero.

The Pavilion Theatre, Westover Rd, Bournemouth Town Centre

One of the most inspirational artists of a generation, performs a very special show at The Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth on Sunday April 13th Jose Gonzalez pril 13th - Jose Gonzalez - The Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth

With his crystal-clear singing voice and vibrant, classically-inspired playing, Jos Gonzlez is one of today's most remarkable artists - testament to the irrefutable power of one man and a guitar. His debut album Veneer captured his magical sound in its purest state, simply beautiful and beautifully simple. He has since toured the UK and US extensively, selling out shows in every major market. While sonically similar to Veneer, Jos's latest release In Our Nature shows Gonzlez' growth as a songwriter. Displaying a heightened emphasis on melody and strong, focused lyrics - the album is a dark combination of softness and anger that is at once mesmerizing, intimate and hauntingly epic.
