TROLLEYS

SHAUN PARKER AND COMPANY / C12 Dance Company

Role: Composer

Commissioned for the 2012 London Cultural Olympics, Part dance. Part ballet. Part outdoor spectacle.  Trolleys is a ballet for five supermarket trolleys. Five shopping trolleys randomly appear in a public space. Two meet and fall in love. One grapples to find a friend. Three others revolt and ignite a dance of anarchy.
Trolleys spin, glide and slide in this highly physical, humorous outdoor performance where high-octane contemporary dance, acrobatics and street dance merge with the extraordinary world of trolleys.
