Sin Cru: Darwin's Notebook
Dance
Plus Butterfly Stitch
Sin Cru Presents...
Darwin's Notebook
A piece of spectacular dance-theatre that demonstrate's some of Darwin's theories via sporadic B-Boyin' & electric Bodypoppin'. Featuring the up and comimng talents of Sin Cru's Participate programme, the champion Jnr Sinstars and new work from CCD.
Butterfly Stitch
The search for beauty can get really ugly. Trying to get others to see what we see in them can be a way of avoiding looking at ourselves; trying to change ourselves to match someone else's ideal can make us tear ourselves apart. The wounds can be held together with a stitch, fragile as a butterfly's wings, but when the scar starts to itch we find ourselves scratching it open again - and again, and again....
"Pow! Bang! Wallop! Sin Cru's unique fusion of Break-Dance with Wim Vandekebus-style attacks on the body is exhilarating." Terry O'Donovan
Doors 7pm
Evolving Words
Theatre
Part of the Darwin Festival
Darwin. School Bullies. Natural Selection. Eugenics. Evil Genes. The Dating Game. Mothers. Individual Significance and everything in between. Polarbear - one of the most exciting performance poets in the UK - has worked with local writers to create spoken word pieces that question how evolutionary theory applies to real life. Come and see them perform alongside Polarbear, this is a one-off special event that we’ll all leave talking about.
"Polarbear's minimal style and unsettlingly straightforward and blunt lyricism make him shine out of the dross of a lot of spoken word." Dazed & Confused
Evolving Words is a poetry writing and science project engaging 14-25 year olds in six cities across the UK.
This event is part of the Cambridge Darwin Festival,
