Theo Clinkard, one half of PROBE comes from the Tamar Valley in Cornwall. He has provided us with a personal commentary on his journey developing as a professional dancer from his roots in the South West, click here to read it.

With their individually glittering careers as dancers – Rambert, Random, Adventures in Motion Pictures, Featherstonehaughs, Siobhan Davies, and Bonachela Dance Company – Antonia Grove and Theo Clinkard, aka PROBE, present a new performing partnership which has been enthusiastically welcomed by audiences and critics alike. After the international success of their first evening of duets (“Have we met somewhere before?”), this award winning double act returns with an ambitious new spectacle that reinvents the variety show, featuring seven contrasting and interlinked ‘dance gems' from radically different choreographers. Four specially commissioned duets - from dark dramatist Mark Bruce, the sublimely understated Charles Linehan, Broadway darling Stephen Mear and the brilliantly absurd New Art Club - sit alongside Trisha Brown's seminal “Accumulation” from 1971, ‘Scag' the first ever piece by Jeremy James and a Bessie award-winning work from Israel 's Yasmeen Godder.
