An Audience With...
Marie Duthie, June Don Murray and Doreen Leighton-Ward are three women from the Variety era. Aged 94, 90 and 85 respectfully they are all still dancing. Brought together by director and choreographer Janice Parker these consummate dancers are guaranteed to awe and entertain.
In early 2016 Janice was approached by the Festival Theatre to contribute to their engagement programme. Interested in the idea of authorship, agency and the legacy of older performers in today’s dance world, she put out a call looking for dancers from the Variety era who had at one time or another performed on the stage of The Empire, now Festival Theatre, Edinburgh.
The live events take place, aptly, in the Festival Theatre’s Empire Rooms. Structured loosely around a guided tour An Audience With… is a live and virtual experience with 6 dancers, from 3 generations who share their dancing lives, past, present and future.
