Set against the electric and dangerous backdrop of 1980s Soho, Think/Twice explores memory, reality and identity through Eleanor, a young woman committed to Halo Psychiatric Facility after being declared insane.
As Eleanor moves between the oppressive corridors of the asylum and the intoxicating freedom of The Halo Club, the boundaries between memory, reality and delusion begin to collapse. Through dance, storytelling and physical expression, the piece explores the turbulent experiences of the 1980s LGBTQ+ community alongside themes of love, loss, prejudice, addiction and chosen family.
BIPA Commercial Dance Year 2 & 3 students bring this powerful original work to the stage, with two casts offering their own interpretations of Eleanor’s story.
