We are pleased to let you know that Can do Co Dance Company are appearing at the Braeburn theatre and at Alliance Jadini Beach Hotel , with a dynamic double-bill of spectacular dance choreographed by Protein Dance and Stephen Petronio.
CandoCo wowed audiences and critics alike with their season in 2002/2003, sparking the following responses:
One of the most varied and satisfying mixed bills in ages - Time Out CandoCo's new programme is its best yet - The Observer
Now, you have a chance to see their new season of work, as they have joined forces once again with high quality choreographers to create two new and original dance pieces:
MICROPHOBIA
The scene is set for a cavalcade of cheek, charm and chatter from the choreographic duo behind Protein Dance . Featuring music, movement, words and sign language, Microphobia has all the elements for dance theatre at it's best.
THE HUMAN SUITE
By New York maverick Steven Petronio , the dancing is physically demanding, precise and athletic and CandoCo's dancers skilfully rise to the public and from colleagues in the worlds of dance and education.
It would be great if you could join us. Tickets are available from Alliance Hotels & Resorts booking office .
