CHARLES JEFFREY’S LOVERBOY – AW17 /  by Theo Adams Company

Theo Adams Company brought Charles Jeffrey's vision to life for the LOVERBOY AW17 show as part of London Fashion Week Mens.  

Director - Theo Adams | Soundtrack - Jordan Hunt-  Choreography - Masumi Saito  | Assistant Choreographer - Jordan Hunt

“London's favourite club kid teams up with Gary Card and Theo Adams to create a fantastical performance for AW17” Dazed and Confused

“The presentation itself was an outre thrill, the Theo Adams dance troupe — near-naked, mud-caked — providing a percussive pagan thrum.” Tim Blanks – BOF

“Loverboy was a major theatrical moment. The work was excellent on its own, but the show’s staging took it to a whole other place. Before the first model came out, dancers caked in mud took position against walls and around pillars. Their movement, choreographed by Theo Adams Company, was territorial stomps.” The Financial Times

THANK YOU /  by Theo Adams Company

Thank you to everyone that came to the Tate Britain last week to see our new performance 'Taking Away Your Space'. We are very sorry to those that had to queue for hours in the cold and especially those that didn't make it inside due to the Tate going way over capacity. We weren't expecting so many of you! 

 "Theo Adams casts us under his spell with his latest theatrical performance Fresh from his spectacular Late at Tate show, we meet the musical maestro Theo Adams and his troupe of marvellous performers." i-D

An exclusive interview about the show with Theo Adams and some backstage photos with i-D HERE

"Theo Adams and his London-based collective of artists, dancers, musicians, actors and singers descended on Tate Britain on Friday night to round off Late At Tate Britain: Mantra, treating packed crowds to their first London performance in years. Flying out of left field, as always, to send confetti flying, The Theo Adams Company closed the night with the red-lit writhing of their passionate performance art." LOVE Magazine

LOVE Magazine - Interview /  by Theo Adams Company

The new issue of LOVE magazine features an interview with Theo Adams by writer Jack Sunnucks and Portraits by photographer Ezra Petronio. OUT NOW 

 

"Theo emerges on set for the last shoot of the day, after several hours vigorously directing the LOVE hair and make- up team to do exactly what he wants. He asks for Jennifer Holliday performing ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’ from Dreamgirls to be played at top volume, and launches into a full performance. Arms held aloft, grief- stricken expression on his face, he mouths the words to Ezra, the photographer. A lot of very tired people watch transfixed and break into applause, whooping as he finishes. Film or stage, this is what Theo’s work is about, drawing you into a place of abandon, and raw emotion, and really loud music. His films are simply a continuation of his performances, but instead of a moment for a room full of people, it’s meant to be a shout heard round the world. "

SAFETY CURTAIN /  by Theo Adams Company

After the world premiere on Channel 4's 'Random Acts' we are proud to share with you Theo Adams Company's debut film project:

"Inspired by the ‘giallo’ Italian film genre, Theo Adams created a highly stylized ‘fake’ trailer for a non-existent movie. Including high camp elements of horror fiction and eroticism–this is the most dramatic film you’ll never see." Channel 4
