Seward wrote in the programme: 'Ripples in Time explores
the themes of Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood and Old Age. The
hopes, fears and dreams associated with each age inspire a feast
of stunning moves and images. At each moment of life we stand on
the threshold of the past and the future. This endless series of
'nows' is what creates our stories; each returning full circle,
like ripples in time.
'For me Ripples in Time began its journey on a path between
woodland glade and river, both telling their own stories, both
part of the endless circle of life. I trusted the young people
with a soulful vision. I wasn't disappointed.
'For many of the performers, this is their first experience of
dance. With sensitivity and intuition they have explored life,
past, present and future. Together we have created this gift for
you to share.' |
