Second Hand Dance to perform children's show "Grass" in December
****************************************************************
The performance features dancers who try to explore the ground and all its wriggly inhabitants in a quirky dance show. Performed on freshly-cut turf, featuring various kinds of tiny creatures, a mixture of dance, puppetry and projection will inspire children to look closely at the world around them.
"Grass" has been featured in nationwide tours of the United Kingdom. It has been staged at various children's arts festivals including the Kew Science Festival in 2019, the Dublin Theatre Festival in 2018 and the Edinburgh International Children's Festival in 2017.
Second Hand Dance creates thought-provoking, joyful and highly visual dance performances by connecting dancers, artists and the public. Created for family and adult spectators, the work is often socially engaged, participatory and designed to encourage personal reflection among its audiences.
Details of the performances are as follows:
December 19 and 20 (Thursday and Friday), 7.30pm
December 21 (Saturday), 11am, 2.30pm and 5pm
