TeaTime Company
We create performances where the borders of circus
and dance disappear to create a new and hybrid movement language.
“Recently, I had the pleasure to work with the young circus company TeaTime. I admire their open view on their different disciplines and their wish to combine them to a work that is accessible but yet pushing the limits of circus. The starting point of their work is strongly related to movement but still they manage to give it a very human character. I would describe it as witty, with a nice sense of humour and a unique movement language.”

“Their strength lies in combining the natural with the unusual. This makes you crave more as an audience and go home full of joy.”

“Everything was very impressive, the pace was great, plenty of surprises, good mix of skills.”

New Movements Showcase
“Three sticks. Three individuals. Dozens of possibilities. Under the Le Channel tent, in front of hundreds of spectators, these juggler-acrobats propel themselves forward, taking turns swinging and turning. The sticks they use are like Chinese poles reminiscent of giant Mikado’s. We see the use of the sticks on one arm, on one hand, on one foot and even on one finger. These are the special and impressive feats performed by TeaTime Company, all with great ease.”

“The concentration speaks from their faces(…)when Rogerson walks triumphantly across the stage with four poles on her hands and feet like a giraffe, you can see what kind of gold TeaTime Company has in its hands…”

Theaterkrant, LINEAR // Festival Circolo
“These three have found their own material, namely the stick.(…)it sounds simple, but therein lies its power. The sticks are recognizable, but abstract at the same time(…)a good thing about TeaTime Company is that no story or characters have been invented, in Stick-Stok, it is purely about the game.
Technique, aesthetics and humour are present. But here too, as soon as the playing becomes more virtuosic, a piece of music starts and the whole thing becomes one beautiful picture…”
Brecht Hermans
Theaterkrant, Stick-Stok // The Great Catch
“The performance was delivered with precision, with care. A fine combination between the practicality of actions in circus with the ongoing transitional flow of dance.”
