TAKE: a dance in the park


Thinking around some initial ideas
Inspired by archive photographs of performances in the early 1800's
Amazing images of audiences watching in awe, flat caps and bonnets
Tightrope walkers and trapeze artists
Must get on and recruit the dancers...

Tour of Shrewsbury Theatre Severn under construction









Our Artistic Director Rachel Freeman gets her first view of the Dance Studio. We're looking forward to getting the chance to work in this lovely new space.

Although it can seat over 600 people it actually feels quite an intimate space, with great sight lines and seating not too far from the stage.









The Walker Studio Theatre. This is a flexible space for seating 250 people or standing 450. We'll be performing our Double Bill of 'Where the Wind Blows' primary age piece choreographed by Bettina Strickler and 'Be-Longing' our community performance piece on June 17th 2009.
