Party: Letting the Light In

Party: Letting the Light In

Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre
3pm-4pm, Saturday 2 December, popping up around Worcester city centre and on The Shambles

Fort Royal's Winter Solstice celebration on Thursday 21 December.

Dancefest will be performing at Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre 2017, bringing pop up performances with a contemporary twist, inspired by the eerie, mysterious streets of Dickensian England.

30 dancers from two of Dancefest’s community companies conjure up macabre and magical scenes inspired by a steampunk world, where music box ballerinas totter and twirl.

Things change when they meet characters whose ordinary lives are being transformed by the new-fangled machines of the Industrial Revolution, and where the light and magic of Christmas bring warmth and generosity.

Collaborating with Clik Clik Collective, they’ll lead intrigued visitors to stumble upon the unsavoury characters that inhabit the immersive installation, ‘Gin Lane’.

Letting the Light In will also be performed as part of Friends of Fort Royal Park and Commandery Gardens's Winter Solstice celebration on Thursday 21 December.
