Welcome to "Looking Glass", a spectacular dance performance that explores themes related to identity, self-worth and the uncertainties of youth. The performance takes you into a magical room filled with disco balls, pulsating music and dancing bodies that create an enchanting and engaging visual expression. Through both physical movement and emotional dance, we explore the fragmented reflection image that the mirrors in the disco balls provide, and invite you to ask questions about how we assess ourselves and reflect ourselves in others.
"Looking Glass" is a performance that has been specially developed to engage and inspire local youth to explore the world of art. We want to create a deeper understanding of identity and self-worth through artistic expression. The title "Looking Glass" alludes to seeing something that is the opposite of what is expected, and explores this through visual and emotional elements.
Inspiration from the philosopher George Mead's theory of mirroring, where we examine how we shape our self-image based on our perceptions of other people.
The title "Looking Glass" is inspired by Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking Glass" (1871), where the expression is used to describe the unexpected and that which breaks the norm. In the same way, the performance explores the unexpected perspectives that can arise when we look at ourselves through different "glasses" or mirrors.
"Looking Glass" is a visual and emotional experience that takes you on a journey through the labyrinth of identity and self-worth. Through dance, music and mirrors, we invite you to see yourself and the world in a new way.
