Toronto's Dora award-winning interdisciplinary theatre collective, bluemouth inc. presents Dance Marathon, a new duration-based performance event which has been taking the world by storm.

An integration of theatre, dance, video and live music all inspired by the physically gruelling spectator sport from the 1930's Depression-Era North America. 

Strap on your dancing shoes and take a spin around the floor.  An actual endurance contest and dramatic performance in which hopeful amateurs mix with bluemouth inc. performers under the direction of floor judges and the constant countdown of the clock to shape a night of immersive theatre.

Please remember to wear comfortable shoes. Those who have two left feet, can just sit back and enjoy. The bar will be open throughout the performance.

Meet at the Traverse Box Office.

Running time: 3.5 hours (approx)
Age recommendation: 16+
Space: Traverse @ Lyceum Rehearsal Room
Traverse Theatre Club: members' tickets £3 off on Wednesday 3 August (book before 27 July)
