Young Men is a new full-length production created for the 10 members of this engaging and inventive all-male company. Tapping into the theme of war, it explores the relationships that develop between men in battle and under stress. The choreography is by Iván Pérez, a Spanish dance-maker acclaimed for his fluid, lyrical style and talent for establishing physical and emotional intensity. The production is accompanied by an original score by the singer-songwriter Keaton Henson.

Resolution! London
Another year, another packed showcase of the new, the brave, the hopeful and the bonkers in contemporary dance. Eighty-four different companies and artists are performing a choreographic mix that ranges from circus and hip-hop to ballet and physical theatre. Each of the 28 triple bills is a kind of lottery, but names to watch out for include hip-hop crew #PPL Dance (Tue); P.L.A.Y, a controlled experiment with audience reaction by young Leeds-based duo Snakebox (22 Jan); young Scot Joan Clevillé (24 Jan); Potatoes & Sauce, a dance-circus fusion by choreographer Hege Eriksdatter Østefjells (19 Feb); and Joshua Beamish, who creates a duet for two Royal Ballet dancers (20 Feb).
