Red Shoes by Upswing

Red Shoes by Upswing

A dance piece in the air?

Red Shoes draws from the rich imagery of fairytales both grim and glorious. The dancers enter a forest of poles, a place beyond the ‘normal’, where stange things occur, and strange people might live, the home of magic, imagination and ultimately transformation. The work explores themes of loss, journey, transformation, and uses dance, Chinese poles and other circus techniques to create a new playful outdoor dance work.

Appetite says: A dance piece that uses set like no other, utterley spell binding, gravity defying and a thrill to watch. This is a must see!
