Rough Cuts: The Garden
An Immersive Journey of Self Discovery through Hip Hop Dance by Lindon Barr
Loosely inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, The Garden flips the traditional stage experience on its head.
This isn’t a show you just sit and watch, it’s a multi-room, immersive journey of self discovery, choice and human connection that you move through yourself.
No two performances are the same. Driven by a rotating collective of four unique artists, each performance brings together a brand new pairing of two dancers. Rooted in hip hop and street dance with contemporary styles, they collide in a living, shifting dialogue of movement.
Step inside and discover yours.
Part of our Rough Cuts programme of work-in-progress sharings.
Suitable for ages 12+ (advisory).
