We’re excited to be working with Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures company again, to bring world-class dance to Faversham.
As well as private performances for local groups of people, young and old, we are delighted to present 2 free public performances on Market Place at 10.30am and 12.30pm.
If you managed to catch New Adventures’ last visit, when they performed in Market Place and the Memorial Garden, then you won’t want to miss this!
Doorstep Duets was originally created in 2021 by New Adventures and Farnham Maltings as a response to social isolation. Offering free opportunities where people can enjoy short world-class performances in their local neighbourhood, on their street, in local parks, and through community-based organisations, the project aims to bring joy, escapism, and connection, and make world-class dance more accessible to everyone.
The Doorstep Duets programme invites choreographers to create original dance theatre shows featuring the dancers of Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures. This year, Hum, has been created by choreographer and movement director Anjali Mehra with original music by Luke Brady.
Just as the actions of the hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world, are essential to life in the towering rainforest, in Hum one small gesture of kindness to a stranger ripples out to create a community for those who need it most.
Bring your friends and family to join us and experience free, world-class dance on your doorstep.
Each performance will last approx. 20 minutes and is free and unticketed.
There will be a collection to raise funds for Pilgrims Hospices in the Square – please give generously.
