Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear

UK tour, 2017-2018

 

Two men on stage. A woman’s voice telling you a story. The men get dressed, get heckled, get aggressive.  The woman wonders if there’s a difference between men’s and women’s bottoms.

Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear is a show about ‘men’ and ‘women’ and how we all relate to each other. Audiences listen on headphones to Hannah Ringham (co-founder of Shunt) who draws you into a hypnotic world of immersive sound and music. 

 

  • Absolutely fantastic… so innovative and bold and original in its theatrical thinking.  It’s funny, visually striking and contemporary – a real stand out

Amber Massie-Blomfield, Camden People’s Theatre

  • “An hour that gyrates and reverberates with questions about how men and women interact”
