About Ballaro Dance
TWELVE: Going The Distance is a contemporary dance piece from Ballaro Dance set inside the charged atmosphere of a boxing gym. Five women drive the action across twelve rounds, following a rising superstar and a fading referee as characters clash, alliances form and ambition burns. Pounding beats collide with sweeping classical strings in a raw, physical and fiercely human work. The show runs for 50 minutes at The Dissection Room and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Five women, twelve rounds, and a boxing gym transformed into a dance floor where ambition and cost collide. The fusion of pounding beats and classical strings gives this physical theatre piece a distinctive, charged energy.
