About this event
Toe-tapping. Life-affirming. Joyous.
BUSK is a breathtaking story of love, hope and redemption. Created by narrative dance theatre trailblazers Project Dance, this unmissable production promises to enchant audiences of all ages with world-class performances and a soul-lifting original score.
At Fox and The Fiddle, music spills into every corner. Landlord Hugo brings each night to life for his tight-knit community of regulars, serving up musical performances with a charismatic smile. He cherishes every moment with his daughter, Isla, while longing to repair the broken strings of his life with his former partner, Lauren.
Then, a fragile soul appears with a melody that seems to belong to them all. The beauty and brutality of life collide, building to a crescendo that threatens to push them all to breaking point. When the only compass leading home lies in the eyes of a stranger, it becomes unclear whether life will ever be the same again.
Back by popular demand, BUSK features acclaimed choreography by James Bamford and an enchanting soundtrack by Charles Harrison.
“An exciting, sad, thoughtful, provocative, engaging and joyous dance theatre work.” – Fine Times Recorder, 2025
Presented in association with The Octagon Theatre, Yeovil. BUSK is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
