KIZLAR is a celebration of what it means to be female. Combining Turkish folk dance with stunning athletic movement, this captivating show presents different images of femininity, from the tender to the powerful. Subverting traditionally male Turkish folk dances with an all-female company, KIZLAR brings a strong yet sensual energy to the stage. This highly visual spectacle is accompanied by a powerful, rhythmic soundtrack blending Eastern sounds with modern beats.
The show will begin with a short curtain raiser by members of the Ceyda Tanc Dance - Community Dance Project led by Cumbria-based dance artist Zoë Leigh Gadd (Dance Ahead CIC)
'Tanc presents different images of femininity, and the company present a united energy, a solid sisterhood. Who run the world? Girls’- The Guardian
