All Pursue Me photos courtesy of George Alexander Thompson Infusion’s Dan Cossette hit the stage the January 31st for E33 Dance Company’s premier of Pursue Me. A 15 minute ballet/capoeira fusion telling the story of love, rebellion, power struggle, and return. Audiences were captured from the first notes of live musicians, led by pianist Reinis Zarins, and the fascinating set design of broken windows and glass shatters on the floor.
Special thanks to Rachel Riveros and her team for making it happen. Cast and crew heard many grateful responses as people reported crying their way through the story, receiving healing and hope. A standing ovation from a full house, made for a wondrous evening.

Infusion’s Daniel Cossette is taking part in an exciting new project that will premier at the Resolution Dance Festival in London this coming January. A new fusion of ballet, contemporary, and Brazilian capoeira, three artists tell the story of brokenness, manipulation, love, and redemption. Ticket booking, donation info, and pictures below!
All Pursue Me photos credit George Alexander Thompson Pursue Me was a vision that ballet and contemporary dancer Rachel Riveros had for some time, ever since taking a capoeira class (Brazilian martial arts, gymnastics, and dance art form, combined in one). She recruited Daniel Cossette, mime/dancer, and Ponciano Almeidas, dancer/capoerista, to help her bring the vision to life–as well as nearly 20 other individuals to help with everything from promotion, to setting, to photography.
The internationally diverse team has been working in unique collaboration on all aspects of this exciting project. The movement artists (dancers and capoeirista) have not only collaborated on the choreography–teaching each other moves–but with the musicians, and set, lighting, and costume designers as well. Each member of the team has had input into multiple aspects of the show, making it truly a group effort to produce whole product that will, we hope, move audiences deeply with the story of a father’s unconditional love for his independently minded daughter.
We need your help! This event is produced by the artists. If you would like to donate to help us reach our goals click here.

Infusion Physical Theatre had a great first weekend at the Anglesey Abbey National Trust for their Winter Lights event. The Abbey sold out all three weekends of the event about 10 days before the event opened, and Winter Lights visitors have given wonderful feedback about IPT’s creative new adaptation of Prokofiev’s classic in a life size shadow theatre of mime, puppets, and dance.
For schools interested in bringing this program to their students, IPT is booking for the Spring term. The show celebrates the original music, and also allows for students/audience to come backstage and experiment with shadow, perspective, space, theatre, and movement, all in one! Contact us

Infusion was excited to perform at the Creative Cabaret Cambridge last month! Perched on a high flying stage in the atmospheric Union Society Café, Daniel Cossette performed three different mimes alongside other talented performers. Click for images!
The Cabaret is an entertaining evening bringing a variety of delights; each time they host different artists, from comedian poets, to song writer/musicians, to dancers. Set under the high roof and historical reputation of the Union Society building, the intimate venue becomes a sea of enjoyment as the lights, refreshments, and artistry takes the audience away on a journey of–exactly as it says–creativity.
It was a fun, inspiring evening, and we highly recommend it! Find them here to get info on the next cabaret you won’t want to miss!
