   new art club's Comedian Bio
BioNew Art Club is Tom Roden and Pete Shenton.

They started working together in 1995, formed the company in 2001 and have since produced a wealth of characteristically clever and funny dance shows. They have toured nationally and internationally and won many awards. Their The Short Still Show reached the final of The Place Prize for choreography in 2004.

New Art Club’s breakthrough show was the hilarious spoof on contemporary dance, This Is Modern, which went down a storm with audiences and critics and has been touring solidly since its creation in 2003. Their follow up show, The Electric Tales, is also continuing to tour three years after its debut. Christmas Show, The Notcracker, premiered in 2005 and, following three successful years, is touring again in 2008. New Art Club is currently developing New Art Club's Extra Ordinary World which will be performed at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2008.

New Art Club’s shows include: This Is Modern (2001); The Electric Tales (2003); Long Range Effort (2004); The Short Still Show (2004); Dance, Jokes and Dance JokesThe Notcracker (2005) and The Visible Men (2007).

Before setting up New Art Club with Pete, Tom was choreographer and artistic director of the all-male Air Dance Company which toured extensively throughout the UK. His opera and theatre credits include The Magic Flute for Opera North and Babette’s Feast at The Royal Opera House (directed by Tim Supple), Edward II at Bolton Octagon (director Lawrence Till) and Elixir Of Love for Grange Park Opera (director Martin Constantine).

Pre-New Art Club, Pete created numerous pieces for his company, livebait. He was commissioned by dance 4 to create a version of Thomas Lehmann’s Schreibstuck, appeared on TV in Tim Supple’s film Twelfth Night, performed and movement directed for theatre company Metro Boulot Dodo and made a solo called the impolite. He created a performance installation for Sensitive Skin.

But mostly, nowadays, Tom and Pete are New Art Club.

About me:
MySpace GeneratorsMyspace Layouts

New Art Club was formed in 2001 by Tom Roden and Pete Shenton and is fuelled by their shared sprit of adventure. Their shows are a mixture of philosophical comedy, live art and dance.

Serious and silly in just about equal measure, Tom and Pete have been described as ‘the Morecambe and Wise of dance’, ‘the Reeves and Mortimer of contemporary performance’, ‘the Gilbert and George of dance’ but they prefer to see themselves as ‘the Metaphysical Dance Adventurers of the World’.

New Art Club is currently developing the brand new show New Art Club's Extra Ordinary World which will be at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. To buy tickets go to the Gilded Balloon website and we will see you there! www.gildedballoon.co.uk

Just wondering if all goes well with you both; we're sad about the demise of 3 of our favourite nottingham venues angel row, powerhouse and the bonnington - remembered a great show you did involving golf or was it cricket in the powerhouse. Hope your finding somewhere out there for folks to enjoy what you do. Sending you good wishes from over the county border from us.
