ALICE

Part Dance                                           Part Theatre                                       Part Triathlon

Rich in athleticism and innovative dance and theatre, ALICE is an exhilarating adventure that spins you off into another land.

ALICE is an adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s whimsical stories, “Alice In Wonderland” and “Through The Looking Glass”.  In her search for home, Alice must maneuver herself through this topsy-turvy world.

ALICE is a one hour show that brings to life all your favourite characters with such energy and excitement that the audience is left breathless.

ALICE was adapted and created by the MOTUS O team of Cindy Croker (choreographer, costume designer), James Croker (choreographer, prop designer), Jack Langenhuizen (choreographer), Petra Blenkhorne (collaborator) and Bonnie Armstrong (lighting designer).  The original version that was premiered in 1994 was commissioned and directed by Simon Johnston, former Artistic Director of Lighthouse Festival Theatre in Port Dover, Ontario.  ALICE is performed by Lara Bernstein, James Croker, Cindy Croker, Jack Langenhuizen .
