Congratulations to the whole team for a fantastic event!
After a fantastic turnout to both shows, Infusion is pleased to announce that due to funding from the Arts Council England and the Royal Society of Chemistry you can catch the show online for the next 30 days!
Check out our YouTube channel here.
We especially loved the audience comments:
“Beautiful dancing and wonderful to have an insight into science through art.”
“The concept and the show were fantastic, a really immersive experience into mental health and emotional regulation.”
“World-class performance. There was great storytelling in the dance sequences, telling the story of how dopamine, adrenaline and oxytocin can affect us positively, why we need them, but also what happens when things go wrong. Attention was paid to the lighting, to the costumes, and the dance troupe and director clearly did their research. Absolutely wonderful experience.”

Soothe Show
Where chemistry, dance and life intersect…
Dive into the brain chemistry for an off-balance and emotive exploration of the three modes of emotional regulation: threat, drive, soothe. With grace and athleticism Soothe looks at the adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin that push, pull and drag us through life. This 4-cast ensemble brings to life the movement of mental well-being in a thoughtful and rambunctious examination of the psychological systems that make us tick. With this new contemporary dance theatre work, award winning Infusion Physical Theatre weaves together non-traditional partnering and original music to follow the cravings of a post-lockdown society eager for recovery.
