About

DANCE DUO BRING POETIC TALE OF NATURE TO ANGLESEY

A fusion of dance and marital arts comes to Anglesey with a call to defend mother nature.

Vanhulle Dance Theatre bring Olive Branch to The Ucheldre Centre on Saturday 11 April - for two shows.

This feel-good, funny and family friendly dance duet intertwines contemporary dance with martial arts.

Choreographed by Laura Vanhulle and Oliver Robert Russell, the show is rooted around themes of preserving green spaces, celebrating uniqueness, neurodiversity and resilience.

Olive Branch is a poetic tale of rediscovering the wonder and beauty that nature provides. Following the new and unusual friendship between two strangers, they quickly learn to  overcome differences, despite miscommunications, by developing trust and acceptance an alliance is formed to defend mother nature. 

This dynamic work will be staged at The Ucheldre, Millbank, Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey, LL65 1TE on Saturday 11 April at 1pm and 4pm.
