The Promenade of Galaxies – Ludus Dance

The Promenade of Galaxies

Participatory, promenade devised and performed by our flagship youth dance company, LYDC and a community cast.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, The Promenade of Galaxies questions the meaning of one of the most optimistic events of the 20th century. Presenting a multi-cultural perspective on the race to the moon, young people present their response to the Zambian 'Afronauts', Japanese moon folklore and why pioneering astronauts were dismissed as 'Spam in a Can.'

Incorporating youth dance and a community cast, The Promenade of Galaxies created a mass participatory performance.

Our performance incorporated inflatable planets and blimps, sound and light projection, along with a play session inside a space hedghog to fully immerse the audience in the spectacle:

The performance was a 45 minute sequence constituting of:

• 15 minute performance from the youth dance comany

• 15 minute perfromace with the community cast

• 15 minute audience interaction with the Ludus Dance team
