It took my breath away. About Covid? No it’s Shirley Not!
Douglas Bateman
“It took my breath away” is a lip synchro of life. Shirley Not explores the basic human action of breathing – something we all do – without exception! What takes your breath away? Whose breath do you see?
Dedicated to songs about breath and voice, Shirley Not’s new show brings together contemporary dance practices, the urban dance style of Waacking, and a personal perspective on ownership and exploitation.
Duration: 60 Min. (Foyer) & 45 Min. (Boxring)
