The contemporary dance company prepare for an exciting new performance
Meta4Dance are an up-and-coming contemporary dance company based in the North East, who are planning on returning to their roots as they prepares for an exciting new performance titled Confluence, which will be livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube from the banks of the River Coquet on Friday 14th May.
The wider Natural Theatres project seeks to encourage the use of non-traditional performance venues whilst also increasing accessibility for audiences of the arts. It’s something that Meta4’s co-creator and artistic director Lily Horgan (a native Northumbrian herself) is excited to see develop: “During lockdown, our outside environment has become essential for mental and physical health. We want to suggest a new way to experience live performance, that re-imagines the feeling of seeing it in person. It’s important that people who aren’t comfortable going back to theatres yet are able to view a professional live performance from the comfort of their own home.”
Natural Theatres has already been showcasing some of the best the North East has to offer, working alongside two other dance companies, What’s That Dance and Pelican Theatre, with performances able to be viewed online now.
