UK Premiere
Be guided through a powerful, mystical journey with HUMANHOOD Dance Company’s visionary dance theatre meditation, ∞{Infinite}. Julia Robert & Rudi Cole’s first production to bring together their signature choreographic movement and shamanic practice, ∞{Infinite} merges magical dance performed on stage by the exceptional company dancers with our internal awareness to highlight the infinite power that flows to and through us.
Expect to receive energetic transmissions through words channelled by Julia Robert with movement embodied by the stunningly fluid dancers including Rudi Cole. ∞ [Infinite] opens a door and invites us to tap into the infinity we all contain within and the potential of our future becoming.
HUMANHOOD invites you to enter the spirit of ∞{Infinite}
It’s the first time I see dance, and I have no words to describe the power and sublime creation I saw tonight.
The power and energy of the performance was like nothing I had experienced before from a production of any kind, not just dance
