Nativity

A full-body collision with the enduring power of the myth and magic of the Virgin Mary

“So inspiring we ran outside afterwards to make snow angels!”

Audience Feedback

Nativity is a full-body collision with the enduring power of the myth and magic of the Virgin Mary. Pregnant Dance Artist Rachel Dean uses movement, song and things that sparkle to create an irreverent and at times surprisingly devotional solo performance. Initially a live performance, now also a dance film by Lucy Barker. 

Performed at: Theatre in the Mill Bradford, Seven Arts and Riley Theatre at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance Leeds and St Marys Stockport.

Supported by: Theatre in the Mill, Leeds Creative Timebank, Dance Initiative Greater Manchester (DiGM), Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Contact Theatre and Yorkshire Dance.
