About the Show
Join us for "Spring Rhythms," an exciting dance show with three amazing pieces!
In "Crater," choreographed by Ben Green, dancers explore what it feels like to be on the edge of something big. They move together, searching for connection and trust even when things feel uncertain. It’s all about how we can find friendship and support in tough times.
Next is "A Most Dominant Wavelength," choreographed by Kirsten Wicklund, inspired by Shakespeare’s beautiful words. This piece shows strong feelings of love and longing, using dance to express emotions from the heart. You’ll feel the passion and feelings through the dancers' movements.
Finally, "Kauã," by Davi Rodrigues, is a celebration of Brazilian indigenous culture. This dance honours the Araruna bird, which represents beauty and nature. It teaches us the importance of respecting and keeping our cultural traditions alive.
Be ready for a fun and inspiring show that combines dance, emotion, and storytelling!
Performed by the talented performers of Lamondance, We guarantee that it will leave lasting memories in the hearts of all those who witness its magic.
