It Needs Horses is a darkly comic tale about the nature of live entertainment and two performer’s increasingly desperate attempts to draw the crowds.

Lost Dog formed in 2004. Their most recent work, It Needs Horses, was the winner of the Place Prize for dance 2011. The company’s first duet, Pave up Paradise, won first prize at the Burgos International Choreography competition, second prize at the prestigious Hanover choreography competition, and was bought and toured by Phoenix Dance Theatre. Lost Dog have created and toured four full length works, The Drowner, Hungry Ghosts, The Rain Parade and Salvage.
