With time and shared imagination every possibility is explored: to unroll, to stretch, to balance, to double and to unfold, to break, to dance, to play...

State of Emergency in 'Jingle Dress' |

The story of a Native American girl, Raylene and her journey of discovery with her friends Tayo from Africa and Lucy from the UK. The show’s exciting dance-narration celebrates the importance of self-awareness and self-fulfillment.
