Two separate dance pieces intertwined on this double bill, as a new work by internationally acclaimed Luca Silvestrini and a reworking of Sardoville's 2015 piece Impressed Upon are blended together with choreographed set and costume changes.

The company has a unique and highly physical style as 'Sardovillian theatre' deconstructing the production bringing the backstage into view. No illusion, no artifice, just performance, it allows audiences get up close and personal. The evening will include a curtain raiser from Studio 19 students.

In their new Bollywood production, Norwich-based Natyapriya Dance Company tell the story of the much loved fairytale, Cinderella, with a exotic Eastern twist. Mistreated and neglected by her family, and overlooked by the community she lives in, Sunderella seems the most unlikely of heroines to capture the heart of the Royal Prince; but helped by some magic touches from her fairy godmother, and some strange twists of fate, Sunderella gets her 'happily ever after' and her family get their comeuppance. The dancers of Natyapriya tell this with a mix of beautiful, vibrant dancing, rousing music, gorgeous costumes and great humour.
