About
Spotlight

Ride portrays the story of three men whose separate paths coincide for a short time as they discover a most curious thing; a car that seems to have a life of its own.

These four souls, three men and one machine take a strange, exciting journey together, on which they discover and explore man and machines reliance on each other, and themselves.

It’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with an ‘80s vibe, an athletic physicality and daring stunts, and features a real car which rotates and pivots to provide the performance playground.

Commissioned and co-produced forInternational Dance Festival Birmingham 2016, co-commissioned by Gulbenkian (University of Kent) and Dance Village at Bristol Harbour Festival
