It's a 2 show weekend!

'FIREFLIES AT DAWN'

Saturday 29th June

at The Warehouse in Holbeck

Show starts at 7.30pm

Fireflies at Dawn invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, where emotions take flight and senses awaken to the soft rustle of wings.

This enchanting dance theatre piece weaves together the threads of inclusivity, and self-expression, exploring the richness of our shared humanity and the strength found in our search for connection. This delicate interplay of sound and motion invites you to discover the lived experience of blind and visually impaired people and to pay attention to how we connect to our senses, ourselves and others. Witness the power of vulnerability in this emotional and sensory show.

Co-created and performed by visually impaired and sighted dancers, Fireflies at Dawn continues the companies investigation into how and why we move and dance. The show uses embedded audio description, sounds, lights and touch as well as innovative new wearable technology, echome - to enhance movement perceptions for both performers and audiences alike.

This is a pay what you decide performance.

'Tales From A Hostile Environment'

Sunday 30th June

at The Warehouse in Holbeck

Show starts at 2.30pm

Members of the Actors for Human Rights network are mobilising across England and will present staged readings of this script in several locations during the week before election day, including here in Leeds.

A general election looms, which inevitably means a renewed demonisation of immigrants living here.
When ice&fire was founded in 2003, the rhetoric was similar and the environment for many immigrants was hostile in practice if not in name. Since then, policies and laws affecting immigrants and those who love them, work with them, and rely upon them have become increasingly punitive.
The majority of immigrants living here do not have the right to vote in this election. With this new script, a curated collection of first-hand testimonies we have collected over 20 years from people impacted by these policies and laws, we invite you to listen and consider these voices during this election cycle and beyond.
