Witness This

Witness This turns the spotlight on mental health in a moving and emotional portrayal of how loved ones’ cope, when mental health problems take hold of someone close. Powerful and deeply personal, the piece tells the story of choreographer, Kevin Edward Turner, following his journey and struggle with Bipolar.

A new and brave choreography from Company Chameleon, this must-see piece features a rich mix of dance and movement styles performed by Kevin and three dancers. Athletic lifts, dynamic movements and moments of fragility and sensitivity, combine to create a view of mental health, which you simply won’t forget. Touching, sad, funny and absurd, this is relevant and up-to-the-minute dance theatre.
