Athletic Turkish Dance Show in Dorset for one night only
Meaning girls in Turkish, KIZLAR by Ceyda Tanc Dance is a celebration of what it means to be female. Combining Turkish folk dance with stunning athletic movement, this captivating show presents different images of femininity, from the tender to the powerful, and this March there’s one special opportunity to see the show performed live in Dorset with local charity Artsreach, as part of a wider UK tour.
“A demonstration of sass, power, and self-possession…the company presents a united energy, a solid sisterhood.” The Guardian
Ceyda Tanc’s work seeks to challenge traditional gender representation and celebrate the blend of cultures in modern Britain, whilst embedding themes of feminism, ritual, and ceremony. Performed by an all-female company, KIZLAR transforms traditional male Turkish folk dances into a powerful, sensual, and visually stunning show, accompanied by a hypnotic, rhythmic soundtrack which blends Eastern sounds with modern beats.
Breath-taking, defiant and powerful, catch KIZLAR in Buckland Newton at 3:30pm on Sunday 1 March. Having worked with the company in a series of workshops, community dance groups Movers & Shakers and Dorset Youth Dance will also perform a short curtain-raiser ahead of the show. There will also be the opportunity to dance socially and learn a few steps from the company following the performance. Tickets and full details are available online at www.artsreach.co.uk
