Description:
Throughout November, FAWN Chamber Creative and contemporary dance company Rock Bottom Movement are joining forces in a truly collaborative process. Through devised research, they will investigate how to make a genuinely scary show out of opera and dance, exploring thrillingly terrifying themes, sounds, movements, and more.
