News / Kathryn set to present latest dance piece at Mareel

SHETLAND-born international dance ambassador Kathryn Spence will present her latest piece, What We Choose To See, in Lerwick this summer.

Fresh from Edinburgh’s Hidden Door festival, the performance will take place at Mareel on Friday 21 July. There will also be performances from local dance groups Inferno and the Shetland Community Ballet, as well as graduates from Shetland Arts’ summer dance intensives, forming an evening of “Just Dance”.

Kathryn is a contemporary dance artist, teacher, choreographer and dance ambassador who works nationally and internationally. In addition to the UK, her choreography has toured Singapore, Cambodia, China and Hong Kong.

She has used her work as a medium of education and engagement, working with UNICEF to spread human rights messages through largely illiterate rural Cambodia, using dance as an international language.

This summer she returns to the islands to teach two sets of intensive dance workshops for beginner and intermediate dancers of school age.

These will culminate in the Just Dance performance, with participants work being showcased alongside Kathryn’s with her dancers Gordon Raeburn, Julia McGhee and Katie Armstrong and the local dance groups.

  • Tickets are available for both the “Just Dance” performance and the summer dance intensives from tickets.shetlandarts.org, by phoning (01595) 745500 or in person at Mareel.
