Let Life Dance coming to The Riverfront Theatre, Newport
Let Life Dance, a physical storytelling production by disabled-led company Humans Move, will be performed at The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport on Thursday, June 26. The show blends movement and emotion to explore the challenges and joys of the human journey, featuring a cast of disabled and non-disabled performers. Jessie Brett, artistic director of Humans Move and director of Let Life Dance, said: "I set up Humans Move as I believe dance with casts of disabled and non-disabled dancers needed to have a space in Wales to flourish and grow. "Let Life Dance explores personal life experiences – the joy and energy of love and life, but also some of the challenges that we are sometimes faced with, which gets in the way of that flow like not fitting in, getting into difficulty, becoming disconnected and feeling stuck. "It explores what happens when we surrender to the flow of life and receive the support we need to flourish and how we need a village to support us through some of these challenging times." The piece has been in development since 2023 and is supported by the Arts Council of Wales and the Laura Ashley Family Foundation. The cast includes five dancers: Justin Melluish, Giverney Hâf Blomeley, Laura Moy, Adi Detamo, and Indigo Tartan. Audiences are invited to connect with the performers as they navigate the twists, turns, and moments of reconnection in life.
