Award-winning dance company and Somerset House resident Shobana Jeyasingh Dance presents Counterpoint, a performance choreographed for the courtyard and fountains.
Taking cues from the stunning neo-classical courtyard and the dynamic fountains, Shobana Jeyasingh choreographs a dramatic, intense and water-inspired dance, performed by 22 powerful women. Set to a pulsating score by Cassiel, this performance will take you on a dramatic ten-minute journey of changing speeds, contrasting textures and shifting dynamics.
Dance and play with the company in the fountains for 20 minutes of Counterpoint-inspired dance, led by one of the dancers after the performance. Sessions are free and tailored to primary school-aged children and families (all ages and abilities are welcome).
Please remember to bring a towel and some spare clothes as you’re going to be soaked.
