CAGED Playground Tour wows BCP schools

As the summer term comes to a close we've been on a whirlwind 5 day school playground tour with Associate Artists Linden Dance Company and their latest outdoor show CAGED.

The weather was kind (if a bit sweaty) across the week so all performances took place outdoors as planned, with over 2,300 children across 5 secondary schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole getting to watch the performance.  Schools taking part included St Edwards, Victoria Education Centre, The Grange, Poole High and Bourne Academy. Many of them also enjoyed movement and creative dance workshops with the artists, before and after the performances.

About CAGED

CAGED is an explosive, evocative dance experience following 4 characters on a journey of solitude to connection.  Inspired by real life stories of isolation, CAGED is set within, around and on a 3m high birdcage.   The performance is physical, athletic and poignant, encouraging a more connected, diverse society and celebrates the power of the arts for improving lives.  And the stunts are pretty wicked!
