HOPE is our new show! It’s bubbling and jumping away in rehearsal at the moment and ready to burst right out at you on Saturday 20 November at Cecil Sharp House, London. Do come and experience it. We’re very excited!
Stronger than fear, fuelled with love, this is a defiantly joyous new show from Folk Dance Remixed, created in response to the challenging times we share. In it we take a 21st century look at the ancient story of Pandora’s Box, when all the evils of the world were unleashed and hope remained to protect and defend us all.
Live musicians and dancers explore wondrous realms with a stunning electronic soundscape, poetry and storytelling.
Bring with you your own hopes for the future; and get ready for bursts of colour, shoots of growth, branches of dreams and a riotous celebration of connectivity, interdependence and resilience, as we find our way back to hope from despair and co create a vision of a brighter future in which all our wildest dreams can come true.
“Hope” was conceived by Folk Dance |Remixed and Bernadette Russell in response to her brilliant new book “How To Be Hopeful”. “Hope” was commissioned by the English Folk Dance and Song Society and is funded by the Weston Culture Fund of the Garfield Weston Foundation.
