Inspired by mirrors, kaleidoscopes and labyrinths, MonStreS is
a fascinating dance show for children, families and schools. Set in a circle
of mirrors, and with playful human creatures, MonStreS, is a dance
experience which has been created especially for children by French company,
La BaZooKa. The show draws on 1950s fantasy films and includes music from Six
Pianos by Steve Reich.
Join us in a riveting exploration of dance, reflection and lights. A one-off
experience!

Join Colin Dunne at The Ark for an interactive workshop in Irish step dance.
These workshops are suitable for children and families who want to gain an
appreciation of how to move to Irish music in a relaxed and fun way. You
will learn some basic steps and will be encouraged to make some of your own,
while also learning about timing and rhythm. You do not need dance shoes
but do bring comfortable footwear with a soft sole.
Colin Dunne is a leading figure in the world of traditional Irish dance,
contemporary dance and theatre. Since performing internationally as the principal
dancer in Riverdance, he has created a highly individual style of
performance and teaching. He has been nominated twice for a UK Critics Circle
National Dance Award: in 2007 (Best Male: Modern Dance) for performances
in Fabulous Beast’s production of The Bull, and in 2009 (Best
Male Dancer) for performances of his solo show Out of Time. Out
of Time has also been nominated in the outstanding achievement in dance
category for this year’s Laurence Olivier Awards, Britain’s most
prestigious stage honours.
