Mixed Doubles brings together two performances in one night. Carefully paired, each programme showcases different artists, disciplines and perspectives. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Aetherbound: an aerial dance duet that combines contemporary movement with rope and harness work to explore themes of belonging, kinship, and connection between women. The duet hopes to promote a wider social conversation in how people view the capabilities of a woman’s body. Through air and ground Rosie Macari & Lila Naruse float and suspend in a dream like world that journeys from the beginnings of life to the end. https://youtu.be/FWLNj2LgO3c?is=2zHZJGF40x7rw0iH Unboxed: Two performers. Two giant wooden cubes. One powerful journey beyond the boxes that divide us. A visually arresting dance production that paints a picture of the world we live in and the one we might dream we could have. Through breathtaking lifts, dynamic partnering and fearless interaction with two sculptural wooden cubes, the performers challenge the invisible boundaries that shape our lives. Fast-paced, emotionally charged and deeply human, Unboxed explores identity, perception and the assumptions we make about one another. Without relying on words, the work invites audiences of all ages to reflect on the barriers we inherit, the labels we accept and the connections we can choose to build instead. https://youtu.be/iA2X2WdVDxM?si=f-BT2_Pl8cf2AOMw More about Linden Dance Company | Rosie Macari & Lila Naruse Age recommendation: all ages | Running time: 60 mins (including interval)
