POWER

Our fearless dance production by Alleyne Dance

POWER explores our relationship with authority and control. With abuses of power and domination affecting communities across the world, we look at how power can seduce, shift and shape our behaviour.

Performed by three explosive dancers we ask the questions: Who leads? Who follows? Who holds the power?

Suitable for all

Power will play outdoor festivals and venues across the UK and beyond. Power explores our relationship with authority and control. Who leads? Who follows? Who holds the power? Earlier this year, 2Faced Dance Company, via their gender equality programme The BENCH, commissioned artists Alleyne Dance to choreograph an outdoor piece using the company’s dancers. From this process an exhilarating and mesmerizing 20-minute work has been created and is set to take the outdoor festival scene by storm next summer.
