A double show, made up of two contrasting pieces that explore new languages, maintaining the highly physical dance style that distinguishes the company.
Glitch is an investigation on the mechanisms that trigger an emotional reaction in the audience.
Bound is a consideration upon the implications of artistic freedom, both in the context of dance and on a broader level.
Thomas Noone
A London-based choreographer trained at the Rambert School in London, he has danced for prestigious companies such as Itzik Galili Dance Company, Frederic Flamand in Charleroi Danses/Plan K, in Spain for Ramon Oller's Metros and the Gelabert-Azzopardi company in Barcelona.
In 2001 he founded the Thomas Noone Dance company in Barcelona, of which he is the main choreographer and with which he has been invited to major festivals and events in Spain and abroad, always receiving a great consensus of critics and audiences. TND is a resident company of the Sant Andreu Theatre (SAT!) in Barcelona, subsidized by the city of Barcelona, the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
With his style based on strong technical training for the dancers and a very strong immediate visual impact, TND wants to attract a wider audience for contemporary dance with performances drawing upon a conceptual point of view, but which at the same time are strong and rewarding even for a non-expert audience.
A feature recognized by critics is the rigor that characterizes his work: a simplicity that supports the artistic weight; the high quality and neatness of the product do not depend on that they are inherent in the pure choreographic work. Thomas Noone is in fact a strong and important personality in the world of “nuova danza”.
