TRY HARD
TRY HARD is a 60-minute original dance work exploring the perceived lack of inspiration in young people, afraid to take on their dreams and ambitions and conquer obstacles in their way. TRY HARD will combine a strong sense of theatricality, emotive dance-based scenes and feature the exciting new discipline Parkour. Parkour is a discipline developed in France and involves negotiating obstacles with speed and efficiency, including running, vaulting, rolling and climbing.
