TOURING THROUGHOUT SOUTH EAST ENGLAND FROM 1 TO 26 JULY 2025
We are delighted to announce the return of Doorstep Duets in partnership with Farnham Maltings, bringing free world-class dance performances to communities across the South-East of England this summer.
Now in its fifth year, Doorstep Duets was originally created in 2021 as a response to social isolation. It offers free opportunities for local communities to enjoy world-class dance performances for free on their street, in their park, or through local community organisations, bringing the joy and wonder of dance to all and making dance more accessible to everyone.
This year, a brand-new piece called My Feet Don’t Quite Touch the Floor has been created with choreographer Shelby Williams, overseen by New Adventures artistic team Kerry Biggin and Etta Murfitt and in collaboration with company dancers. Performances will begin on Tuesday 1 July at Farnham Maltings, before visiting Surrey, Essex, Canterbury, Dover, Margate, Ramsgate and Suffolk.
Choreographer Shelby Williams said:
“Having watched the legacy of Doorstep Duets creators before me with fascination and warmth, to offer a piece this year has felt like a wonderful way to pay some of that joy forward.
Creating, watching, and sharing dance, and of course dancing itself, are all joyful things. They make us feel happier and more connected to ourselves and those around us. Sharing my love of dance through this piece to those that may not have access to it otherwise is an honour and a privilege.
My wish is that every person who watches this show leaves feeling more joyous than when they arrived. After seeing our show, if even one person embraces their differences and finds the bravery to share their own creativity with others, then in my mind this piece has been a resounding success. Now, let’s go change the world!”
