Layers of Skin is a multi-layered performance event with bold choreography by choreographer Filip Van Huffel and his inspirationally fearless Retina Dance Company.

In this unique event, six Retina dancers are joined by dance artists from the local area, to present a work seen in layers of energy, sensitivity, power and versatility.

The dance artists from Derbyshire Dance Artists Network will work intensively with the company on a challenging and intensive three-day residency to weave them into the show. They will be joined by two aspiring young dance artists on the verge of their new careers.

Layers of Skin plays with the idea of hiding. Three layers of our skin hide our bones, organs and muscles. It hides who we are, what we think and desire. Retina Dance Company shed their layers to expose a full-bodied and fast-paced show.

The exhilarating performers execute the quirky intricacies of Van Huffel’s vigorous choreography with raw vitality.
