Lincolnshire Dance

On Friday evening, Lincoln's LPAC theatre welcomed the fantastic Champloo Dance Company to the stage to perform their truly unique and inspirational - 'White Caps.'

Told through live dance and projected short film sequences, 'White Caps' tells the story of two brothers as they pursue a shared dream and embark on a thrilling voyage. Having had a successful run at Sadlers Wells in London, Champloo Dance Company continues to tour the country inspiring audiences of all ages with their intriguing creation. The dancers, Joel Daniel and Wilkie Branson, who also wrote the piece, discussed it at length in an informative post performance discussion. Both accepted the conclusions were up for interpretation.

The live and explosive choreography was complimented perfectly by the epic film sequences which showed various natural landscapes in perfect definition. One thrilling scene showed the dancers climbing a flight of stone steps whilst they collided with water on its descent. It was interesting to learn that this sequence was filmed within a city centre and digitally edited to seem like the dance was performed within a sparse natural environment, similar to moorland.

I would urge anyone who gets the opportunity and to experience this energetic and moving creation, to do so while you still can. The website for Champloo Dance Company is http://www.champloo.co.uk
