Retina Dance are the East Midlands’ only professional contemporary dance company and have visited the Drill Hall on many occasions with some amazing performances and participation projects and on Friday 10 February they presented Layers of Skin, their latest project.
Involving a small group of local young dancers who worked with the company all week the final performance was an astonishing hour of extreme physical dance and athleticism that was exhausting just to watch.
I always love that with Retina’s shows you can just watch them and enjoy them without being made to feel like you should necessarily be understanding every nuance. With some other dance companies you’re made to feel like maybe you’re missing something… but not with Retina.
Layers of Skin was one their best yet – thrilling, entertaining, amazing and hugely rewarding to watch. We hope to get them back here again soon : )
