Night Dances

Exhilarating dance and live music

Presented by United Fall

Running time: 60 mins | No interval | 12+

Backstage Theatre leaf motif

Night Dances is a ferociously exhilarating performance of pure dance and live music, a series of four bold dance vignettes created in collaboration with the performers to the pounding music of Daniel Fox (Gilla Band).

It is an ode to the body and a visceral, sweaty love letter to dance in all its guises.

Inspired by the simple act of dancing, it’s a celebration of dance culture from clubs to competitions to ceremonial. Reveling in a promiscuity of styles and images, Night Dances expresses fury, rebellion, hope and freedom through raucous choreography, rumbling bass and a desire to reconnect us to the simple power, unity and beauty of people dancing to music.

This tour is supported by the NASC Venue Network.
