It is never too late to become a dance fan. Four dancers twirl around the room and invite small and tiny children to take part in this warm-hearted, playful performance. The music is mixed live by a DJ. “We touch, we play, we dance” is an uplifting performance for children under three years old and is full of surprises and unforgettable moments. Parents will be amazed at how their children react to the dancers. All is allowed: You can also just watch and listen.
The Company Second Hand Dance was founded in 2013 by Rosie Heafford and Claire Summerfield in England. Since then, they have been developing works for children and adults. The company already was a guest at the THINK BIG! festival a few years ago. Its sensitive, colourful, and easily accessible productions are invited to festivals all over the world and regularly spread happiness amongst their audience, who often keep dancing long after the show has finished.
Commissioned by The Place, Pavilion Dance South West and supported by The Egg, Gulbenkian, Bath Spa University, from National Lottery public funds through Arts Council England.
