๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’› A bittersweet Opening night for Manage Your Expectations last night as director and co-founder of House of Sand, Charley Allanah, announced that this will be the companyโ€™s final production.

After 11 years of making dance-theatre works together, sisters Charley and Eliza have made the difficult but correct decision to put their production company to rest.

There'll be more to come from the sisters soon about what wrapping up House of Sand will look like, but for now, please come and celebrate with us for this final season โค๏ธ

My intention is to fail. In front of you.
Or if youโ€™re facing the back, my intention is to fail behind you.

My intention is to fail in front of you so that we can build a closer bond.

My intention is to fail in front of you so that we can all connect to the infinite beautiful failures that brought us to this moment.

My intention is to fail in front of you, and you will decide if I have succeeded
at failing
in front of you.

House of Sandโ€™s signature melding of forms is back in Manage Your Expectations ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›

Through a masterful blend of dance, theatre, live film, clowning and absurd philosophising, Manage Your Expectations helps us to see the limits of our communication and our failures to say what we mean.

Full of vigour, energy, chaos and a hint of confrontation, join us for a captivating night of comedy, theatre and contemporary dance fusion. And you will decide the endingโ€ฆ
