There’s a well-known link between creativity and long-suffering and believe me – it’s a theme I’m personally familiar with.
Clambering through a mix of procrastination and perfectionism, battling with worry overtime slips and bordering somewhere between artistic genius and insanity can often breed the ‘Black Dog’ of depression. With that in mind, how refreshing it is to have such feeling translated into a dance spectacle.
Dance is a medium that has the power to get you moving or keep you sitting still and when coupled with monumental music, it transcends into something more akin to art. Whether you’re the sort that appreciates the beauty of dance or the sort of person that just enjoys a good show, this is one to get along to.
All too often we are swamped with more and more, creating information overload and generating the type of food for thought that only keeps the ‘Black Dog’ alive. This theatrical take will address just that, asking the question: In a world of too much, how do we find ourselves?
Botis Seva’s powerhouse ‘Far from the Norm’ will perform a blend of free-form and hip-hop that sheds dialogue in favour of music.
BLKDOG is set to lock its jaws onto your subconscious to create a gripping show that is all too real.
If you’re looking for something that is insightful and creative, make sure you see BLKDOG at Northern Stage this month and discover how dance can translate into an emotional representation of barking madness.
Tickets, priced from £10.00, are available from northernstage.co.uk.
