Matt Rudkin's show combines physical tomfoolery and deadpan wordplay in a highly original meditation on authenticity and pretension in the world of art.

An electrical fault during a gala performance leads a renowned dancer to the shocking realisation that his effortless brilliance simply leads spectators to more deeply comprehend their own inadequacies. This insight prompts a dramatic change of career path, and the search for a quasi-religious dance practice that transcends egoistic desires through the active pursuit of humiliating experiences. A chance encounter with an immigrant hula-hoopist leads to a romantic entanglement that is to test to the limit the cathartic power of his new dance practice.

Inconvenient Spoof draw on previous experience in Live Art, Street Theatre, Dance and Puppetry to create entertaining shows with provocative intentions, experimental inclinations and a playful joie de vivre.
