Hofesh made his name with the high-octane double header ‘Uprising’ and ‘In your rooms’ and his Company's three-year residency with Brighton Dome and Festival continues with the eagerly anticipated world premiere of Political Mother.

6 weeks before opening night Hofesh puts the dancers through their paces and explains what the audience can expect to see on the night.

Hofesh Shechter on Rehearsals :
“It’s quite a chaotic process, it’s nothing I can really create a system for…it’s sort of like a chaotic space where you just throw everything you’ve got that you feel is connected to idea to the feeling  and  you just try again and again until I feel something …. That’s how we work – we are on stage, I am on stage with them...I take off my shoes and we dance.”
