Dusk Dances Barrie
Tenterhooks
Choreography by William Yong
Performance: Zachary Cardwell, Alison Keery and Brendan Wyatt
Music: ‘The Essential Alfred Hitchcock’
Original performance: Piotr Biernat, Jasmine Ellis and Andrew Taylor
Filled with the quirks and quandries of a camping trip trio, Tenterhooks is inspired by all manner of camping experiences; the hilarious upsets and the surprising joys that arise from unexpected circumstances found in and around a nylon camping tent.
First premiered as a Dusk Dances commission in 2007.
Uno Dos Y Tres
Choreography by Carmen Romero
Performance: Carmen Romero
Live music performance: Stephanie Pedraza
Costumes: Patricia Cueva
Based on a poem by Manuel Benitez Carrasco from the 1920s, UNO DOS Y TRES is a visual metaphor of the internal conflicts we deal with in life. This physical and emotional work offers the audience a flamenco performance that goes beyond the traditional presentation, shifting audience expectations and demanding an open mind and heart.
A Dusk Dances premiere.
