Edward Scissorhands!

On the 14th of January 2009, our dilpoma class went to see the production 'Edward Scissorhands' at the venue Sadler's Wells. This was a dance production about a man who was created by a man who had lost his son 'Edward'. The only thing was, he gave him scissors for hands. Edward was soon discovered by a family who took him in and eventually, most of the town grew to like and accept him.

The show was performed through dance which I found interesting at first because I thought that it would be very hard to tell a story using dance only. Fortunately though, the story was portrayed in a very clear and interesting way by using big bold movements, and funky or calm music, depending on the mood. I think that this was effective because it meant that the audience had to think about what was going on rather than have all the information told to them. We had to listen to the music and interpret it into what we thought it meant.

As part of the course, we will need to write a review on the show using the skills that we learnt at our last trip to Sadler's Wells.
