We all have it—baggage, the invisible burdens we carry that are often too complex, too personal, and too heavy to share. This duet, combining tap, contemporary dance, and original live music, delves into the emotional journey of carrying these unseen weights. Baggage offers a heartfelt exploration into the highs and lows of life, presenting an uplifting, relatable, and moving piece of dance theatre that seeks to connect us all through our shared experiences.
Baggage was created under 'A Space to Call Home' artist development scheme funded by Arts Council England, delivered by Marina Studios Foundation in partnership with DanceHub.
