Dance show features performers of all ages
A supremely talented intergenerational dance cast will bring a performance of their stellar production to the Macrobert next month.
Glasgow-based dance company Barrowland Ballet took on a gargantuan task last year.
A total of 75 performers aged from seven to 75, many of whom had never danced before, got together to put on a special show called Wolves.
They used dance and live music to investigate the restrictions society attempts to place on bodies and minds – from childhood through the teenage years and parenthood to later life.
And this new production, which will be touring Scotland in early 2018, brings together some of the dancers from the original show to further explore the themes examined in the five-star performance.
Questions surrounding the stories handed down through generations, the safety in a wolf-pack community and how dangerous it can be to stray from the path will be explored.
Many of the dancers who will feature in the show have family connections.
Father and daughter Davey and Rosa Anderson, aged 37 and nine, will perform along with Otis and Inigo Bazie, aged seven and six, who are the sons of choreographer and Barrowland Ballet artistic director Natasha Gilmore.
Award-winning folk musician Mairi Campbell will perform a live score on stage.
And her daughter Ellen Francis (18) will also feature in the production.
Barrowland Ballet claim to be one of Scotland’s most exciting and successful contemporary dance companies.
The show will run at the Macrobert on Sunday, February 18 from 4pm. Tickets are priced at £8.50 or £30 wee group saver. Go to macrobertartscentre.com.
