Carousel
Southpaw Dance Company
Circus, Dance
Carousel is a mid-scale narrative dance performance centred on a 1900s-style functioning carousel. The story revolves around the enigmatic characters that inhabit a Fairground, and in particular what occurs when it shuts down for the night. Music, dance, and drama play out after hours on a spectacular moving carousel structure which enables dancers to flip, roll, dive, and spin to an eclectic Balkan and Gypsy-influenced score that will enthral audiences.
About Southpaw Dance Company
