Oona Doherty: Hope Hunt & Ascension into Lazarus featuring Trinity Laban Dance Collective

Bold Tendencies presents Life starts at 40, a comprehensive programme of work by award-winning choreographer, Trinity Laban alum and Honorary Fellow Oona Doherty.  In her 40th birthday year, Bold Tendencies are celebrating a decade of her groundbreaking practice, including the world premiere of a full-length new commission Leather Jacket. Deploying dance as powerful socio-political commentary and engagement, Oona’s tough, uncompromising work challenges and reframes the dance world, her distinctive, visceral creations driven by her desire to craft and share experiences.

To open the programme Oona Doherty returns to the stage to perform her iconic solo work Hope Hunt. Moving between physical theatre and social commentary, thick with fury, swagger and humanity, Hope Hunt distils the working-class male with chameleonic physicality, grace and technical precision. Hope Hunt shatters facades, dismantles stereotypes and finds beauty on the margins. For the transcendent, bright white, Caravaggesque finale Ascension into Lazarus, dancers from Trinity Laban Dance Collective, our MA/MFA Dance Performance programme join her to perform on stage in the hunt for hope.
