Leslie - 11 years old Step-Up Group and Strong & Flying Participant I really enjoy coming to mimbre, because I’m learning loads of things, also I’m meeting new friends. mimbre is really fun because we perform loads of pyramids and learn how to do...
Time really just flies - this summer's tour of "Falling Up" has already come to an end!!! The last couple of weeks were busy with our last performances at the National Theatre, the Mintfest (Kendal's International Festival of Outdoor Arts) and Pique-Nique Kerhorres - On the Bridge in Northern France... we can't really believe yet that the summer is over! But we are very proud of Falling Up's successful tour and very happy with all the great feedback we got along the way, from audience members, producers, bookers and festival managers alike!
We are very proud that our Step-up group made it into the news section of "Hackney Today"!!!
Come and see them perform "Origin: London" today, August 28th, at 5pm at the National Theatre!!!
As followers of mimbre and this blog will know, we ran our own Big Dance events as part of the Big Dance Festival 2012. The idea was for as many people as possible, of all different ages, to join together for a basic but fun choreography that everyone could learn, and to try out some basic acrobatics moves.
Time flies - we are now more than half-way through this summer's tour of our new show "Falling Up"!
The weather hasn't always been the best and so some performances unfortunately needed to be cancelled at the last minute... but we still had a great time over the past few weeks and are very proud of Falling Up's success and reception! We got amazing feedback and lots of lovely comments from you, our various audiences - so we'd like to share some of them here with everyone!
"Fantastic show - I loved its sense of fun, its simplicity and its lack of pretension, it made it really accessible for me. I am also so encouraged to see dancers who are beautiful and extraordinary in unconventional ways, so much more engaging than more conventional troupes. Loved how much the dancers were clearly enjoying themselves - made me grin the whole performance through."
