The Bierkeller Theatre worked during our first and second season with the wonderful Third Stage Dance Company (website: www.3rdstagedance.com) who ran a number of workshops and classes in the Bierkeller space. Third Stage are now working on other projects, including a performance at the Tobacco Factory, and we continue to support their work and thank them for building the foundation for dance performance with us.
We are currently working with a number of groups, but if you are a dance company interested in a truly unique and atmospheric venue for either performance or a workshop space, please get in contact at info@bierkellertheatre.com.

3rd Stage Dance
3rd Stage is a very special group of dedicated dancers who work together with musicians, composers, film makers and actors. We are all from a variety of backgrounds and we share our experiences, skills and knowledge.
The core of 3rd Stage is the dance. Mostly made of contemporary style 3rd Stage produce unique choreography from highly experienced dancers and choreographers. There is often a very clear balletic essence as many of the dancers are former ballet dancers. Together we embellish the spirit of movement. We learn and work on what the music might offer us in order to influence the purpose behind our performances.
The music of 3rd Stage breathes the life into the dance. We are honoured to be given a delicious mix of music from some extraordinary musicians and composers. The musicians delight in seeing their music being used in these performances.
Some of the musicians we have worked with:
Ed Scolding:
Described in the press as 'succinct and witty' and by performers as
‘a beautifullong strand of colour’ and ‘the perfect pudding to the
menu,’ music by Ed Scolding has been performed by Exaudi, Music
Theatre Wales, London Sinfonietta and in workshops by BBC
National Orchestra of Wales. http://www.edscolding.co.uk

Sleeping States: Sleeping states is the musical project of Markland Starkie, a idlands-born musician currently living in Bristol. Starkie has been recording under the Sleeping States moniker since 2004, and has played an active part in the UK independent music scene since that time, releasing three albums and a number of EPs and 7" singles on various labels in the UK, USA and Australia. His latest album is In the Gardens of the North, an experimental folk record influenced by imagery of the British countryside. www.sleepingstates.co.uk
Film:
We have worked with film, not only as part of our performance but as projects on their own. Our last performance "Moving Pictures" was entire performance celebrating film. We concentrated on film making as a true theatrical image, staging events for a film maker to film and explored setting work through film sitting peacefully with live dance.
