National Dance Company Wales present

Plunge

Plunge

Prepare to dive into a thrilling dance experience at Blackwood Miners' Institute and see two wonderful productions performed by six of the best young professional dancers in the world working with National Dance Company Wales.

Hinterland is a beautiful, elegant and poignant dance from the Company’s main repertoire. Set to a glorious orchestral suite of music by Alun Hoddinott and played by BBCNOW, it recently toured the UK and China to great acclaim. The second production, Shut Up! is a new riveting piece of dance-theatre, depicting the tearing apart of broken love relationships, set to the music of the X factor generation.

Directed by Roy Campbell-Moore, Plunge challenges dancers and audiences with a contemporary and bold show that has deeply contrasting new works, showing both the romantic and the painful side of relationships. Exquisite dance that is poetic and lyrical as well as sharp and sassy.

Tickets £8 / £7 concessions
Free workshop on Thursday 18th March. Limited places available contact the Box Office for more details.
