This week we kicked off with our first show in
Newcastle at Dance City. It was really nice to perform in a purpose built dance
venue, and with friends and 2faced fans present in the audience. It was also
brilliant performing on a bigger stage than usual, as all the pieces feel all
the more exciting when we don’t have to adapt or limit movement range to
accommodate the stage. The show was well
received, with many audience members expressing their praise and awe at the
post show talk.
We performed in Kendal the following day which was
another strong show, all be it on a slightly smaller stage with very limited
wing space. We sold out as well which was great for such a small town.
The next day saw us travelling up to Alnwick, where we
were staying in two self catering farm cottages for the entire week while
performing around Northumberland. We then had two days off to rest and enjoy
the peaceful beachside town of Alnmouth, with the exception of Johnny and Hugh
who were teaching, It was back to work on Wednesday for a performance in
Alnwick, which also featured a curtain raiser debut from Junior Funk, (a local
boys dance group), which was choreographed by Hugh and Johnny in their workshop
the day before. We finished the week with our show in Berwick, where we were on
one of the smallest stages we’ve performed on, though it was still a great
show, with a lot of enthusiastic feedback from the crowd in the post show
discussion.
