Some of the performances I saw at the BD Festival were more appealing to me than others. 'One Sky' was a vibrant dance spectacle inspired by India's kite festivals, performed by Pagrav Dance Company. In a nearby tent, children were making their own kites.
Near St Georges' Hall, a trio of acrobats performed Weightless, 'dismantling big problems into moments of laughter'. They were very good!
Finally, the market area was invaded by dinosaurs, 'Saurus', towering over our heads and searching for food. At one point they nearly ate me! These performers were balanced, impossibly, on stilts tapering to points, whilst manipulating those massive costumes and long necks. Amazing! (I always thought I was quite clever, in my younger days, to manage high heeled shoes, never mind stilts.)
Oh what fun! Colorful dancers, which of course I couldn't tell their movement just their costumes by the photos! Loved the strong!! acrobats! But those Saurus are certainly amazing! Good designs and a little bit scary!
