ALICE: Re-imagining Wonderland through Music, Dance, and Spoken Word

The Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company and Art of Élan announces the world premiere of “ALICE: Re-imagining Wonderland through Dance, Music and Spoken Word,” a work for contemporary dance and chamber ensemble that explores The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland through the creativity of a new generation of performing artists. The new work was commissioned by Art of Élan and the Colette Harding Contemporary Dance Company, with new music written by the young and exciting composer Joe Hallman. This performance, enhanced by Asian and European influences, will shed new light on the classic Lewis Carroll story of Alice and her fantastic adventures in Wonderland. The resulting collaboration will reveal the tale of a girl coming into maturity through a journey that mixes both reality and fantasy.
