Let's Start Again
by A Woman's Move
A two-minute routine, repeated over and over with different instructions.
"Let's start. Stop. Bow. Let's start again".
Watch the performer try, struggle and sometimes fail as the instructions become increasingly difficult to follow. Playing on the audience's anticipation, this fun solo is a dance show for those who think they don't like dance shows.
From multi-award winning choreographer Elsa Couvreur who won 14 international awards for her previous solo-show "The Sensemaker":
'She’s a performer who just looks into the auditorium and holds an audience spellbound.'
