"Who runs the world? Girls."
KIZLAR (meaning Girls in Turkish) is a celebration of what it means to be female. Combining Turkish folk dance with stunning athletic movement, this captivating show presents different images of femininity, from the tender to the powerful.
With an all-female company, KIZLAR transforms traditional male Turkish folk dances into a powerful, sensual, and visually stunning performance, accompanied by a powerful, rhythmic soundtrack which blends Eastern sounds with modern beats.
Having worked with Ceyda Tanc in a series of workshops, Movers & Shakers and Dorset Youth Dance will perform a short curtain-raiser ahead of the show.
Running time: 60mins + post-show social dance
"A demonstration of sass, power and self-possession... Tanc presents different images of femininity, and the company present a united energy, a solid sisterhood."
The Guardian
