Crawdaddy - World Premiere

Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 August 2023 | Afternoon

Free

Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park, Kensal Road, London W10 5EG

Crawdaddy is an aerial dance piece for three performers who tumble, spin and glide through a looming wooden and metal aerial rig where different levels of choreographic interactions are played out. The tensile strain of their connective ropes exposes the performer’s vulnerability through their interdependency as they navigate the nature of human relationships, both literally & metaphorically.

Played live, Scott Smith’s taut steel guitar strings release raucous blues and swampy atmospheric loops for Crawdaddy’s imagined setting of backyard Americana.

Main programme event. Suitable for all ages. This is a free show so no tickets are required. There will be other performances taking place in the same location, with shows in this location running from 12.30pm onwards.

Weather update on Saturday 5 August at 12noon. For safety reasons the artists are not able to present shows in the rain. Fingers crossed for sun. Any changes to the schedule will be posted in the website and social media.
