Annabel Harrison Tread Lightly
Tread Lightly
Annabel Harrison will dance small structurally improvised vignettes in different areas of Western Park during Art in the Dark. In this fun and light-hearted work, Annabel will journey through, over and around various landscapes, in a series of cleverly choreographed steps and striking images. Her costume will include lit up and glowing elements, such as shoelaces, flowers, and balloons. These will draw the audiences' attention to her feet and to the space above her, which often go unnoticed or are underutilised in contemporary dance.
