Table Manners by Tony Adigun is a dynamic and thought-provoking performance that explores human relationships through the lens of food, dining, and cultural rituals. Performed in Avant Garde Dance’s signature innovative style, the piece transforms a long dining table into a stage for playful, interactive choreography. Set around, on, and beneath the table, the performance invites audiences to reconsider social norms and behaviors while celebrating the beauty of our differences.

With a compelling mix of humor, movement, and a subtle social commentary, Table Manners offers an immersive and relatable experience for audiences. This 40-minute show, commissioned by Without Walls, Hat Fair, Out There International Festival of Circus and Street Arts, and Stockton International Riverside Festival, can be performed twice daily and includes wraparound masterclasses on creating work for outdoor spaces.
