Erin Johnson, 16th March

Protein Dance revisited The Place this weekend to perform LOL (lots of love), a fresh and explosive work about love, relationships and our growing obsession with the internet and social media. Originally premièred in January 2011, LOL has been on tour around the UK since its return from a recent tour of the Middle East. Now back in London, Protein was as sharp as ever.
