Stuck in the Mud, commissioned by GDance in association with Ballet Cymru in 2013.
Get the whole family stuck into some playful dance. Toddlers, teenagers, parents and grandparents will love this unique and inspiring performance with an atmosphere of fun and awe.
Stuck in the Mud is a magical, family friendly, dance journey through historic settings. It is a vibrant mix of professional dancers, both disabled and non-disabled, as well as many dancers from local Welsh schools and dance groups plus live musicians. The playful performance weaves through each venue, with pieces ranging from brief vignettes to full scale, whole cast spectacles. It is presented as a promenade – a guided tour of the site by the performers with some interactive sessions with the audience.
