Title: Stories of Change
Creators: Carrie Washington, Jane Glynn, Katie Williamson and dancers – Anne, Sally, Sarah, Shirley, Sylvie, Marie
Music: Stories of Change, Jenni Pinnock
Starting from stories of the dancers’ individual experiences of change, the piece explores the rhythms of change. Taking us from a place of calm, change may creep, jolt or be a choice in our lives, but takes us to places unknown and uncertainty, before new adjustments begin and settle once more.
Dance Re:Ignite North Herts have a performance and workshop package available to tour to community settings. The performance lasts approximately 8 minutes and is suitable for a range of community settings, including care homes, day centres, sheltered housing lounges and lunch clubs. Following the performance, the group can lead a workshop (30 – 45 minutes) and have time for refreshments and chat with participants. The workshop is suitable for all ages and can be done seated.
Past performances include: HILS 10-2 Club Letchworth, Garden House Hospice Wellbeing Hubs, St George’s Nursing Home, Margaret House Care Home, Age UK 10-3 Club.
