To quote from the 2Faced Dance Company’s website, “2Faced Dance produces innovative, accomplished and aspirational artistic performance and participation programmes alongside a captivating community dance programme that truly reflects the landscape in which we are based, allowing us to tell new and original stories, generating distinctive new work, whilst striving to stay relevant to our audiences“. This performance ticked all of those boxes.
