Light Steps Co-design of Scenography, Costumes, Props
A new dance work by Dancing Strong in collaboration with the Turner Contemporary Museum in Margate England.
Created especially for children (3+) and family audiences, the piece takes inspiration from artist Spencer Finch’s exhibition at Turner Contemporary Museum of Margate, England in 2014; The Skies Can’t Keep Their Secret. The work premiered in the exhibition space in August 2014, and will tour schools and theatres in 2015/16. Light Steps takes the children on a 40-minute magical journey using light and colour as a portal through moments in time to transport the audience to a colour-filled world of moving dance. Characters and objects in the work are inspired by drawing and dance created with children during our residency at Bromstone Primary School in Broadstairs in Summer 2014.
She show toured schools around the UK in 2014, and was remounted in 2015 for an educational tour and a Nov 7, 2015 performance at Stratford Circus in London England, for it's London premiere.
