Launch Day

Date: Thursday, Jul 12 2018
Time: 7:30pm
Venue: Circomedia
Price: £10-£12

Launch Day draws its inspiration from paintings by Scottish artist Alexander Millar, known for his large-scale paintings of ‘Gadgies’, or working people of the North East and its industrial past. Kelly Abbott Dance crafts memorable images bringing Millar’s characters to life on stage.

Using movement influenced by the paintings, and informed by research with workers from the ship-building industry, Launch Day – shortlisted for Performance of the Year at the Living North Awards 2016.- is a celebration of North East life, its culture and the industry that represents its past, present and future.

With large-scale projections of Millar’s paintings, evocative choreography and a soundtrack featuring music by Mark Knopfler and composer Breifne Holohan.
