Dancing Voices
Over the seven decades since the Olympic Games last came to the UK, society has gone through extensive political, digital and social revolutions. Working closely with a team of dancers and performers aged fifty and over, Barrowland Ballet director Natasha Gilmore has created a series of interlinked dance pieces, reflecting the shifts and social changes underpinning each decade. Dancing Voices is performed by a huge, exceptional cast: 150 older dancers from across the country, accompanied by stunning vocal performances of songs from the past seven decades, performed by a 40-strong choir drawn from singing groups from across Glasgow.
