After a wonderful time touring SPLASH! last autumn to the Pegasus Theatre in Oxford and the Midlands Arts Centre, we are back! It was so great to share SPLASH! with you. Incase you missed. SPLASH! is an intimate, interactive performance installation which uses dance and painted and projected artworks to explore our relationship with water. Beginning in an imaginary cool stream where rain falls gently, audiences are led by three dancers through a vibrant city river into the expanse of the ocean. Our Touring Cast is made up of: Dancers @magajudd @aishamaarie @kadejabraun Musician Jake Alexander Technician @quirkperformer Project Manager @_curly_kate_harrison_ Photographer & Social Media @chen_lightcapturer @chen.warner DSML is co-directored by @adesola_akinleye and @helenkindred , who are also the choreographers of SPLASH! Thank you @aceagrams for the funding support and to all the venues toured at so far! ✨ @pegasusoxford @mac_birmingham @artsdepot_ldn @cornerstoneartscentre @dare2dancecompanycic [Image Description: This is a carousel of three images, showing three dances on a dimly lit stage, wearing white jumpsuits surrounded by lighting projections of blue and green, that mimic the ocean. There is also a musician on stage, Jake, to the right playing cello and singing. He is lit in an orange light. The first images reads “We are back!” With the SPLASH logo and arts council logo in the bottom corners. The dancers movement are flowing, and open like the waves of the sea.]
