SUMMARY:Fairytales for Grown-ups: A Dance with the Minotaur's Sister
DESCRIPTION:The Crick Crack Club presents Fairytales for Grown-ups: A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister – performance storytelling by Steph Brittain. \n\nA King breaks a promise.\nA Queen takes passion in hand.\nA Prince becomes a feared prisoner.\nAnd Ariadne dances. \nStoryteller\, Steph Brittain unravels a web of love\, loss\, betrayal\, and bees – tracing the footsteps of Ariadne to a place before the maze and before the thread. \nFrom a forest dance floor to the labyrinth’s dark passages\, and beneath the starry skies of Naxos\, A Dance with the Minotaur’s Sister weaves an intricate tapestry of strength\, courage\, and desire – a story as old as myth\, told with the living pulse of now. \nTipping ancient Greek mythology into a new perspective\, this is a story of a bull\, a boy\, his sister\, a labyrinth and what happens when the hero leaves. \nAriadne is waiting – pulsing with joy and fire. Join the dance. \nRunning time: Approx 70 minutes without interval \nSuitable for adults 16+ \nContent: This performance contains references to sex\, threat and violence\, contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative\, archetype and metaphor \nFor livestream tickets to this event\, click here. \nSTEPH BRITTAIN: Steph Brittain’s love for storytelling developed whilst studying Kathak dance in Paris and Delhi and continued to grow during her MA in Drama and Movement therapy.
