My Feet Don’t Quite Touch the Floor by Shelby Williams (Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures)

On Stage

The Waterfront Stage

Presented by DanceEast.

Have you ever let your mind wander? Lost in a daydream, what did you wonder? Meet Reverie. They know this is where they belong, but it doesn’t feel quite ‘right’. Should they sit on their hands until this feeling passes? With a growing sense of curiosity, Reverie must walk away from their dreams and ideas or find the courage to embrace them.

This imaginative story is inspired by the experiences of two legendary dancers at the beginning of their own dance journeys. It was their ability to seek their own paths and let their minds wander that inspired their extraordinary careers as dancers, makers, and creative leaders. However, this remarkable skill was not always seen in such a positive light.

When we embrace wonder, we unleash possibility and creativity. What colour is your imagination?
