PERFORMANCE – WONDERLAND SYNOPSIS:
Wonderland is a 30-minute, modern ballet adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, performed by 4 dancers. This pop-up style performance is designed for school. and community groups of all ages.
Alice is seen daydreaming by a riverbank, dancing amongst the butterflies. She sees a white rabbit who appears to be running late! Alice is curious by nature and decides to follow the rabbit down a long winding rabbit hole, where a mysterious Cheshire Cat appears, guiding her into Wonderland. Here, she meets more characters – the entertaining Hatter, the kind Knave, the jazzy Flamingo and the demanding Queen of Hearts with her Guard.
Join Alice on her journey, for a game of croquet, plenty of dancing, and a tea party or two!
