A celebration of ten years of outstanding performance
To coincide with Bare Bones’ 10 year anniversary the company presented Bare Bones The Decade in October 2011; a selection of iconic solos and duets from previous productions, by some of the UK’s most renowned choreographers – Hofesh Shechter, Carol Brown, Charlotte Vincent, Jasmin Vardimon and Luca Silvestrini.
"It's been a really amazing 10 years of working with fantastic performers and brilliant choreographers. This selection from our history really epitomizes the spirit of the company. I love each and every one of these great works" David Massingham, Bare Bones Artistic Director
