Exploring Artistic Narratives: Dance, Comedy, and Music at the Stephen Joseph Theatre
The Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough is set to host a trio of captivating performances that delve into human emotions and cultural connections. From the powerful dance piece 'Greed' by Tavaziva Dance, exploring themes of cultural tension and sin, to Lydia De La Murrãy's comedic quest for 'Closure?', and the timeless melodies of 'The Carpenters Experience', each event promises to engage audiences in unique and profound ways. Join us as we explore the artistic narratives and experiences that await.
Tavaziva Dance returns to the SJT with Greed, a dynamic, powerful, exhilarating dance piece accompanied by a stimulating and infectious soundtrack.
First performed to great acclaim in 2013, Greed is choreographer Bawren Tavaziva’s treatment of The Seven Deadly Sins and deals with the interplay of money, power, and religion between African and Western cultures.
Do you have questions after a breakup that were left unanswered? Well Lydia did, so she sent a questionnaire to all her ex-partners and made a show out of it.
Closure? is a one act comedy performance following Lydia De La Murrãy on her journey of self-discovery through analysing all her past relationships…in great detail.
Karen’s silky contralto is combined with Richard’s piano and seamless harmonies in this big production that brings Close to You, We've only Just Begun, Top of the World, Rainy Days and Mondays, Solitaire, Goodbye to Love, Please Mr Postman, For All We Know, Only Yesterday and dozens more classic songs to the stage.
The trio of events at the Stephen Joseph Theatre exemplifies the diversity and depth that the arts can offer. From the powerful cultural commentary of Tavaziva Dance's 'Greed', the hilarious yet insightful journey in 'Closure?', to the timeless celebration of music in 'The Carpenters Experience', each performance invites audiences into a world of creativity and reflection. As we anticipate these upcoming shows, there's a reminder of the enduring impact of the arts in enriching our lives and expanding our horizons.
