Choreographed by choreographer, Sean Bovim, and featuring the dancers from both the Playhouse Dance Residency and Bovim Ballet, Romeo’s
Kiss is based on Shakespeare’s age-old story of star-crossed lovers and family feuds in a fast-paced, fresh and innovative dance work.
Audiences can expect an unusual and very exciting fusion of classical ballet and contemporary dance for which Bovim is well known, as well as a mixture of neo-classical music and cover versions of well-known Beatles’ hits from Gwen Stefani, Wet Wet Wet, Phil Collins, and many more.
Says Bovim; “This is MTV culture meets So You Think You Can Dance, with beautifully designed love duets and rocking group divertissements.”
Romeo’s Kiss is set in the modern era, with Romeo as a banker and innocent Juliet from ‘new money’. The dancers will be haute couture costumed by Craig Port (male dancers), Malcolm Klûk & CGDT (female dancers).
