“Theatrical and artistic, with perfectly timed lifts and gorgeous flowing movements.”
This out-of-water synchronised swimming team of community and professional dancers move in perfectly planned formation – this lot take their sport very seriously but also break out into a playful dance party! Watch them bring a splash of colour to Stage @theDock as they explore the things that counteract the stresses of current times – community, connection, togetherness, dancing, partying, music and playfulness. It’s a synchronised swimming team with a twist – the twist being that they don’t swim and sometimes aren’t even synchronised!
The piece has been created over a 4-week period with community members, along with 8 professional dancers based in or part-based in Hull. The original concept was created for Doorstep Dances project 2021, and previous community version commissioned by Maritime Hull for Vista Festival 2023.
Funded by Arts Council England and Hull City Council in partnership with Hull Dance Move Together, Dance In Company and supported by Back to Ours.
