About the show
Suitcase Dance Theatre is a Seattle-based traveling performance troupe whose work fuses classical grace with rhythmic intensity and raw storytelling energy. Their show Allura is a 50-minute multi-disciplinary production blending tap, jazz and contemporary dance styles to trace a search for human connection through a dreamy world of rhythm and movement. As the performers chase connection through shiny distractions that shimmer, mislead and seduce, the show quietly reveals that the bond they seek has been there all along. It earned four-star recognition from both Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe and Edinburgh Festivals Magazine.
