Abundance is an intergenerational dance performance that invites audiences to slow down, rest and reconnect. Six dancers – three professional dancers and three volunteer dancers – move through moments of pleasure, weight and release, accompanied by live music from Me Lost Me.

The work begins with a pause - a spacious moment of stillness. People move, howl, rest, leap, reverberate, and hold one another.

Colourful duvets fill the space – folded, flung and gathered – worn, sculpted, hidden beneath and danced within, shaping shifting landscapes that emerge and dissolve with a sense of play and imagination.
