Show Description

Remarkable Rhythm One bench, two people, and five days. Through music, movement, and mishap, two young people experience the difficulty and joy in connecting with those unlike themselves. Rhythm is spontaneous and experiences life as movement; and all sound as music. Glas loves life smooth and stable; preferring things remain the same. When Rhythm and Glas meet at Bellevue park they have the five days of half-term to see if their friendship is worth keeping, before they go back to their separate schools. Will they find a way to create something remarkable and discover a rhythm that is theirs alone? Remarkable Rhythm is a dance theatre show for young people 7+ and their families. With integrated audio description by the two dancers, this show is accessible to audiences who are blind or partially sighted and the physical storyline is visually clear so allows Deaf audiences the ability to also experience every show fully. Created by Krystal S. Lowe in association with Theatr Iolo Funded by Arts Council Wales and Theatr Iolo, and South East Dance
