Do-Re-Mi-Ka-Do
Colourful, vibrant live dance performance that's perfect for children aged 2+ and families
Sat 15 Oct, 12.15pm & 2.30pm
Join the party as sound, colour and movement combine to take family audiences into a limitless world of imagination, where children are encouraged to play and creativity knows no boundaries.
Through humour and fun, de Stilte explores the connection between movement and sound – a bodyticking, a mouth gasping, a belly bulging, a foot stepping – while dancers and musicians create their own unique dialogue.
As sound becomes colour and dance turns into music, watch the world grow into wondrous adventure.
Studio 3 Arts are pleased to welcome the Dutch children’s dance company de Stilte. Presented by Dance Umbrella, in partnership with the Orbital Touring network.
This event is part of Dance Umbrella Festival 2022, 7-23 October: London’s international dance festival celebrating contemporary dance, bringing some of the world’s most exciting talent to stages across London and online. danceumbrella.co.uk
