Wales’s freshest professional inclusive dance theatre Company, Humans Move, will be presenting their powerful and emotive physical dance story, Let Life Dance across Wales this autumn.
Let Life Dance captures the high and lows of life’s rich journey, the twists and turns, interference and the chaos, and will be heading on tour again for 2026 to Pontypridd, Abertillery, Llanelli, Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Mold. All performances will have audio description available.
Expect powerful performances with a cast of disabled and non-disabled dancers that is full of compassion for our human experience.
The show looks at individual and collective life experiences. Through movement, the dancers share the twists and turns, ups and downs, interferences and joy in life.
The dancers explore the experience of becoming disconnected from family and friends, and support networks, going through personal struggles of trying to fit in and being unable to connect to a group and feel at home. The dancers learn how to reconnect to each other, become a support network and accept each other differences. They go through moments of frustration, difficulty, pure joy and connection.
Humans Move is a disabled led organisation joining forces with people who are fighting for change and a more inclusive and peaceful future.
Artistic Director of Humans Move and Director of Let Life Dance, is award winning choreographer Jessie Brett, whose work has been performed at Hijinx’s Unity Festival and has also worked internationally, developing her inclusive practice in Ethiopia with Adunya Dance Company, Meseret Yirga and Destino Dance Company.
Jessie established Humans Move in 2021 and said,
“I set up Humans Move as I believe dance with casts of disabled and non-disabled dancers are needed, to have a space, in Wales to flourish and grow. “ Jessie Brett, Artistic Director of Humans Move.
Let Life Dance has been supported by Arts Council of Wales. Jessie’s physical storytelling style captures beauty and action in this new piece.
Jessie said, “Let Life Dance explores personal life experiences – the joy and energy of love and life, but also some of the challenges that we are sometimes faced with, which gets in the way of that flow like not fitting in, getting into difficulty, becoming disconnected and feeling stuck.
It explores what happens when we surrender to the flow of life and receive the support we need to flourish and how we need a village to support us through some of these challenging times.”
Let Life Dance includes a cast of five disabled and non-disabled dancers including Down syndrome dancer’s Justin Melluish (Hijinx and Frantic Assembly’s ‘Into the Light’ and more recently S4C | BBC Wales TV drama’s Hidden/Craith), Giverney Hâf Blomeley (Rocking Horse Media Henry House TV pilot, Cwmni Open at Theatr Clwyd, and North Wales Phoenix Theatre Company, The Crucible); Laura Moy (Nofit State, National Theatre Wales and Pirates of the Carabina); Adi Detamo (Frantic Assembly, Theatre-Rites, and Breaking Convention) and Indigo Tarran (Jo Fong’s How Shall We Begin Again, Zosia Jo’s Fabulous Animals and more recently AFON (Deep Listening) with Maynard Abercych).
