TAKE; a dance in the park
Directed by Rachel Freeman for Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company

Three dancers disabled and non-disabled tug, twist and turn through the fact and fiction of the past, in an aerial dance performance of daring delight.

TAKE; a dance in the park celebrates a rich and colourful history of live outdoor performance from 1809 to 2009, trapeze artists to street performers, woollen tweed to lycra. Bringing it into the 21st century and onto a spectacular aluminium dome rig where dancers magically glide, float and spin, narrowly missing each other in a playful journey through the archives.
Following performances as part of Sepia; a small festival of dance, TAKE has continued touring the UK and will be performed at the VSA festival at the Kennedy Center Washington D.C, and Wales Millennium Centre in June alongside another aerial performance ‘Sugar’, performed by outreach worker Sally Edwards.
