UNBROKEN
Hello!
By Nikki Rummer
Friday 8 April 8:00pm
Believe it or not, what you hold in your hand is a small miracle, our very first brochure in over two years…. It’s precious because it signals our return, in the same way that flowers emerge after a hard winter and leaves unfurl to face the sunlight. Déda has made it through the darkness and can now offer you the bright joy of new dance works, classes to move and shake in and a space to eat, drink and meet with your friends and family. Our spring programme invites you to join us in celebrating life in its many shapes and colours, peeling back the layers to reveal hidden wonders and joys. See you soon! Steve Slater Director, Déda
