Motionhouse presents
BLOCK
An awe-inspiring look at life in the city
Ten years on…BLOCK is back.
Motionhouse presents a new, super-charged reimagining of this iconic show. With its daring physicality, split-second timing and gravity defying dance-circus, BLOCK will once again leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
BLOCK is about life in the city - its contradictions and challenges. Twenty oversized blocks, resembling giant Jenga pieces, form an ever-changing environment as the story of BLOCK unfolds, with split-second timing and thrilling feats.
Created and directed by Kevin Finnan. Original concept, design and production by Ali Williams. Originally produced and developed in collaboration with NoFit State.
