the piece is a duet for 2 women, and examines the place of women
in the past, the present and the future.

Grimm. With music by John Dowland, Massive Attack and
Radiohead, and sumptuous costumes by Steve Denton, the work
unfolds episodes of physical and athletic dancing.
Ffin Dance will be choreographing a brand new piece of work for
the dancers of the Helen Barton School of Dance, which will be
performed this evening.
Before the show, Sue Lewis, artistic director of Ffin Dance, will be
speaking about the choreography in a pre-performance talk. She
