A double-bill where dance, live music and striking visual design collide.
In VESSEL, three dancers move within sculptural constellations of LED light that pulse, black out, and reappear in shifting formations, hinting at the tension between human survival instincts in an AI-driven future.
In the Absence is a metaphor for grief, transition, and renewal. A vast mirrored floor of fragmented confetti becomes the stage for two dancers navigating memory and loss, each movement unsettling thousands of reflective pieces.
With composer Sean Pett mixing sound live in dialogue with the dancers, the evening becomes a cross-art encounter - movement, music, and light reshaping each other in real time.
Visceral, cinematic, and deeply human, INTO THE LIGHT is PCK DANCE at their boldest.

★★★★★ "A transformative event that redefined the possibilities of ballet as a medium of profound expression." The Parliamentary Society
★★★★★ "The depth of feeling conveyed and the partnering of James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight was outstanding." Seeing Dance, David Mead
