Join the award-winning Protein Dance company for an unusual evening of entertainment! May Contain Food, May Contain You promises to be a captivating night out and an unforgettable reflection on our curious relationship with food. With specially-composed music by celebrated composer Orlando Gough, May Contain Food May Contain You is a piece of dance theatre featuring a playful mix of dances, songs and humorous monologues.

The main hall of the Ashburton Arts Centre will be transformed, restaurant-style, for an immersive experience watching, savouring and digesting the unfolding performance. The audience will help the cast of three to bake a scrumptious sticky ginger pudding whilst sharing your own sentimental dishes that you've made, grown or bought. As the heady scent of spice fills the air, Protein's charming hosts orchestrate a raffle during the interval and you, the guests, sample tasty delicacies over the course of the appetizing evening.

Audience members are invited to bring with them some food that you have made, grown or bought.

"A lip-smacking fusion of song, dance, mime and sweet aperitif tomatoes." The Guardian

"Excellent, beautiful singing, music, theatre, dance and food. What more could you want?" Audience member

"An immersive experience, a great community building exercise and the performers were excellent." Audience member

Guide Prices

Rather than "full price (concession)" we usually offer a choice of three ticket prices, eg:
"£15 full price • £10 or £7 if you prefer – please pay what you can."
All the tickets are for the same, unreserved, seats. You choose the price you can afford. If you want to come to something, but can't afford the full price, then please STILL COME, but pay for a cheaper one. Everything helps towards making things work. Or if you fancy coming to more than one show, but paying the top price for all feels like too much, then pay a little less, and see them all!
