STRAWBOYS
Strawboys is a vibrant and energetic outdoor pop-up performance, blurring the lines between traditional and contemporary dance and music.
Featuring luminous straw dancers whirling to Balkan inspired beats, the work is a unique spin on the cultural tradition of ‘The Strawboys’, also known as Mummers, Guisers, Burdie Boys and Skekklers; identified by their ornate straw costumes while out rambling streets, fields, towns and parks, parading their merriment to the joy of onlookers.
Composers Zoe Katsilerou and Eilon Morris infuse lively Balkan vibes to match the colour popping costumes and woven masks of Costume Designer Alison Brown.
Hayley Earlam and Jess Rowell
‘Voices’ a new integrated dance work inspired by themes such as inclusivity, individuality and identity. Co choreographed by Jess Rowell & Hayley Earlam featuring dancers Anderson De Souza and Brian McSweeney with live music from Alessandro Zangrando.
