Everyone has their own special gifts...
Mini Mission: The Jingle Dress is a dance and music performance for young children, choreographed by Adesola Akinleye, which celebrates ‘being who you are’ and ‘finding your own special path’. Inspired by Native American beliefs, the show reveals to children that everyone has their own special gifts, inherited from the people and places around them. A jingle dress is a traditional Native American dress, covered in bells that make a sound along with the movement of the body. The dancers are Alice Cade, Amy Butler and Lauren Okadigbo. Set by Illugi Eisteinsen. Dramaturgy: Chris Fogg. Film by Barry Lewis and Emil Charlaff. http://ow.ly/PCFX30ck6wN
Mission Possible: Dads & Lads Move.

State of Emergency is delighted to be supporting dance artists and teacher Louise Dickson in an inclusive weekly creative contemporary workshop programme. Participants, a majority of whom are visually impaired are inspired by these sessions. The positive feedback has been amazing. One participant said "I always have fun here. It is wonderful to have the freedom to move in a big space". Another "This has given me an exciting new lease of life". SOE’s Artistic Director, Deborah Baddoo attended the session last week and couldn’t resist joining in the creative vibe!
