In Running Sushi, dancers Stephanie Cumming and Johnny Schoofs perform on a stage-cum-platter, in a witty comment on contemporary life. With twelve dance dishes served up like a sushi menu, and performed in an order chosen by audience members who pick sushi off a plate, the audience creates a new storyboard each evening. Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has been cancelled. Please call 0844 338 5000 for further information.

Based on the life and poems of the most famous Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish, Kelma is a meditation on exile and absence – and how the creation of art can transcend oppression and darkness.
