  • Dates: Thursday 25th May 2023 - Saturday 27th May 2023, Riley Theatre  

  • Time: 7.30pm

FROM EARTH, TO SKY AND BACK AGAIN.

Inspired by journeys of migration and tales of new beginnings, two women with creative roots in Leeds - musician Corinne Bailey Rae and choreographer Sharon Watson - join forces to craft a brand-new work about the infinite potential of the human spirit and our place in the cosmos.

Blending evocative music with powerful dance and stunning visuals, SEEDS, DREAMS & CONSTELLATIONS asks - to what extent can we influence the future or reimagine the past? Do we always reap what we sow? Performed by a cast of over 35 dancers drawn from Leeds-based dance companies award-winning Mobius Dance, Watson Dance Project and VERVE, the piece meditates on the potential we all have for growth and total transformation.

Made possible with the generous support of Northern School of Contemporary Dance and Mobius Dance. With seed commission funding from Leeds 2023 and supported by Arts Council England.
