New Art Club

New Art Club is a dance, theatre and comedy company formed in 2001 by Tom Roden and Pete Shenton. New Art Club's performances 'marry stand up comedy with choreographic minimalism and a touch of philosophy.'^[1] Roden and Shenton are co-artistic directors and choreograph their own work, whilst often integrating other performers and performing collaboratively with other groups. Their diverse list of influences include Mark Whitelaw, Graeme Miller, DV8, Merce Cunningham and Reeves and Mortimer.^[2] They have toured across the United Kingdom, including performances at the Dundee Repertory Theatre, the Soho Theatre London and the Liverpool Playhouse, and have also taken their work to China, the United States and throughout Central Europe.^[3] Their newest show, This is Now is being performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and Latitude Festival in 2009 before moving onto a UK tour.
