Our brilliant weekend at bOing!

27th August 2019

We had an amazing time with our fabulous partners on WILD, Gulbenkian and ART31 at bOing! International Family Festival in Canterbury this weekend.

Thank you to everyone who came out to watch us perform WILD over the weekend, you were a great audience and we really appreciated your support, especially in the 30 degree heat!

On Sunday we did our first ever live stream of a full WILD performance which is still available to watch on our Facebook page.

Check out some photos from our performances here:

Following a residency with our dancers Junior and Bryn, the ART31 youth dance group performed a great curtain-raiser piece using our Captive set. The group worked really hard all week and their piece was a huge hit with audiences over the weekend.

Take a look at some photos of their performances here:
