Probe’s daring piece of dance theatre May is written by Tim Crouch (Royal Court, National Theatre), directed by Pete Shenton (New Art Club), and is performed by Probe’s Artistic Director, Antonia Grove, Scott Smith and Ben Duke (Lost Dog’s Place Prize-winning choreographer).

May is a young woman on the edge, teetering on the brink, an emotional time bomb with a wild imagination. Douglas is her polar opposite; he fancies himself as a bit of a writer. He wants to help her, but he has problems of his own.

Darkly humourous, this is a modern day romance of sorts, told through dance, text and song. But, as the story unfolds, the performers reveal a world of complex human desires in which exterior pain is an escape from the interior of the mind.

Based in Brighton, PROBE was founded in 2004 by Antonia Grove and Theo Clinkard who produced two works together: Have we met somewhere before? (2005/06) a triple bill of choreography by Lea Anderson, Marc Bruce and Rafael Bonachela; and Magpie (2008), a collection of seven “dance gems” by radically different choreographers.  Theo left the company after ‘Magpie’ to further his career as a designer of theatre, opera and dance. Antonia Grove has continued to develop projects as sole Artistic Director of Probe including a new solo, ‘SMALL TALK’, which she has been working on with Wendy Houstoun and which premieres at the Merlin Theatre in Frome, Somerset on February 21st.
