Evim (My Home): Ceyda Dance

Inspired by Sufi mystic Rumi, and the mesmerising whirling dervishes, evim [my home] is a magical and interactive performance for children aged 2-7 and their families.

“If light is in your heart you will find your way home.” – Rumi

Follow three wanderers as they search for belonging… in places, with people, or in a feeling… Twirl, whirl and play as the performers take you on a spellbinding journey to find a place to call home. A wonderful introduction to dance theatre for young children, using captivating movement and enchanting music in this non-verbal and sensory show.

A collaboration between Choreographer Ceyda Tanc (Ceyda Tanc Dance), Theatre Maker Natasha Granger (Theatre Fideri Fidera) & Creative Producer Hayley Ovens.

Supported by Arts Council England, Komedia Productions, THE STUDIO, Wilton’s Music Hall, and South East Dance

 

This show is non-verbal. This makes it accessible to a range of people, including d/Deaf, hard of hearing and non-English speakers.

“A mesmerising show for all ages. Kids will be fully engaged and they’ll be dancing by the end.” – Parent

Reviews

“A mesmerising show for all ages. Children will be fully engaged and they’ll be dancing by the end.”

“There was a great balance of slow and energetic themes running throughout the performance. I loved how the dancers interacted with the children to make them feel comfortable enough to participate later in the dancing!”

“I loved seeing my children communicate with the performers entirely through movement and dance- no words needed, beautiful and moving.”

“A gentle and beautiful experience for my daughter and I. The invitation to take a step into the piece was thoughtfully done, meaning there was no pressure to participate, but the welcome was enticing and proved a magical experience.”
