Freddie Opoku-Addaie makes his festival debut with Mis-thread, a work which engages the audience through bold vision and visceral emotion. In a search to unlock the secrets of non-verbal communication, Mis-thread uses elements of folk and ritualistic forms, games, sign language, and energetic, often jagged dance. This fresh and unpredictable dance-making is set to a live electric cello and creates a mysterious environment which changes with each performance. Mis-thread is part of Dance Umbrella's Brief Encounters series, in which short works by talented new choreographers or established artists are performed prior to main stage shows.
