Indepen-dance: Gathered Together 2024 - Saturday 7 September

A bite-sized early evening show of three beautiful dance works to mark the end of Gathered Together 2024, a four-day festival of performance from some of the world’s leading inclusive dance organisations, presented by Indepen-dance.

PROGRAMME
Y Dance’s Horizons presents Trick of the Eye
Horizons is Y Dance's Glasgow-based inclusive youth dance company for dancers aged 12-25, years. Trick of the Eye is about how we all see things through our own lens, sometimes because of illusions and sometimes because of ignorance. These varying perspectives can impact how we experience the world around us.

Indepen-dance’s Adult Performance Company presents Golden Offering
Created by Aya Kobayashi with the dancers of Indepen-dance’s Adult Performance Company, this new work explores their individual unique qualities. Full of emotion, the piece sends out a powerful message to people and the world above and below. 

Ephemeral Echoes: A collaboration between Indepen-dance (Scotland), LPM Dance Company (England) and Con Cuerpos Dance Company (Colombia)
Choreographer George Adams will create a new dance work with dancers from the three organisations creating a post-apocalyptic reinterpretation of the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel, and showcasing the strength and fluidity of movement across a spectrum of abilities and cultures.

ACCESS: All performances at Gathered Together are audio described and BSL Interpreted.
Audio Description/AD: Emma-Jane McHenry
