ELLIEFEST

@threescoredance will be performing their new outdoor work Ko:ra at ELLIEFEST on Sat 13 July at 12.30 & 2.30pm. We took some time to ask Artistic Director, @jasonks1 a few questions about this new work and the company.  Tell us a bit about the idea behind Ko:ra? - It's Inspired by the Irish music of my childhood, Ko:ra is a piece that is close to my heart. The movement like the music tells a story, a conversation: the ones we need, the ones we avoid and how our bodies express so much more than words can. What inspires you about working with Three Score Dance? - The absolute joy I see in people when moving, the freedom and agency dance can bring to people of all ages, the connection people have when working together so resolve a creative challenge. What would you like audiences to experience at ELLIEFFEST? - Something! As I’m not prioritising one feeling over another, I don’t mind what that is. I just hope that they are drawn to feel something even if it is only fleeting. How would you describe the performance in three words? - conversation, journey & moment If like us you can't wait to see Three Score Dance in action make sure you set your alarm for Sat 13 July, the music (and fun) starts from 11am. #ELLIEFEST #Festival #festival2024 #whatsonwestsussex #whatsonworthing #musicfestival #familyfriendly #music #dance #whatson #familyfriendly #freefamilyday #contemporarydance
