Protein Dance Company – LOL (Lots of Love)
Sat 31 Mar 2012 - 31 Mar 2012 at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park, Longview Drive, Huyton, Liverpool, L36 6EG
Website: http://www.knowsley.gov.uk/tickets
An award winning Dance Company is coming to Knowsley with a smash- hit take on the age of the Social Media.
Protein Dance will perform LOL (lots of love) at the Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park at Longview Drive in Huyton on Saturday March 31 at 7.30pm.
They will also be running workshops for local schools on Thursday March 29 and a schools matinee performance on Friday March 30 at 1.30pm.
It is a fast paced show of dance and talk where dancers place the world of emailing, texts and tweets before the audience.
Protein’s creator Luca Silvestrini says “The show is about the search for love and companionship in a vastly better connected but increasingly isolated global society”.
Social media images are played on three giant screens behind the dancers and a keyboard-like tapping sound fills the show’s score.Protein’s six dancers stylishly nail the language of life online, talking and dancing at speed and making straight-to-the-audience confessionals. With video animation by Rachel Davies and original music by Andy Pink, these ingredients conjure a razor-sharp commentary on our Facebook society, and affecting rendering of human need.
Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley’s cabinet member for Leisure, Community and Culture said “Protein is one of the top dance companies in the country, their work has humour but also some sadness, communicated through amazing dance. This is a show for everyone, not just dance fans. Let’s face it, we’re all up to our necks in the world of texts and tweets so to see that brought to life in dance will be amazing.”
It is aimed at an audience over the age of 12, and there will be a chance to talk to the dancers at the end.
For more information about the workshops and the matinee performance call 0151 443 5619.
There are full bar and catering facilities at the Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park on the night of performances and plenty of free car parking at the side of the building.
