Performing Arts: Dance
Next up in our Performing Arts series...
Continuing our exploration of the world of performing arts, this collection delves into the universal language of dance.
Since the origins of dance are intrinsically linked to self expression, spiritual connection and social interaction, there is a long and fascinating history of movement beyond the stage. This collection invites us to reflect on the multifaceted nature of dance: that which is innate and exists on a fundamental level in each of us, that which is taught and studied as choreography or technique, and all manifestations in between.
Each work in this collection is an energetic, vibrant display of dance in its many forms - from show rehearsals and live performances, to traditional festivals and flash mobs. Don't forget your dancing shoes as we journey through the wonders of movement!
