Hawk Dance Theatre presents Getting from to A to B as part of Manchester Festival of Libraries.

Eccles Gateway

Hawk Dance Theatre take family audiences on an entertaining adventure around the library in Getting from A to B, looking at choices and decisions we face in our lives; the highs, the lows, and everything in-between!Performed to original poetry by Louise Fazackerley and original music by Richard Smithson, performers lead audiences between bookcases, weaving our unique stories into one volume. Getting From A to B invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to explore their local library, to see the space in new ways and transforms the library into a performance space. The poetry engages adults &amp; older children, giving them inspiration and reflection on life’s roller coaster journey, whilst younger children are absorbed by the dancer’s movements and expressions and delight in their own involvement in the performance.“Contemporary style dance doesn’t usually ‘move’ me but this was so lovely. We bought two 3 year olds with us and they were transfixed! Such a lovely way to introduce them to different styles of dance and the library is such a perfect place for this”“Fantastic performance. Thought provoking dance about modern life and ideals. Captivated adults and children alike”“A lovely slice of something special during a normal day at the library!”Hawk Dance Theatre is a dance company based in Manchester that creates, explores and inspires audiences by offering work that is engaging &amp; accessible.
