There’s a Hum on the Doorstep

Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures will be bringing world-class dance to St George’s on Tuesday, August 13th at 11am.

Each year, the dance company, which is based in Farnham Maltings, brings Doorstep Duets to new audiences by dancing outside buildings where there are groups to come and watch. This year, the dancers are presenting Hum in the car park at St George’s while Connections, a group for over-50s is meeting.

Just as the actions of the hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world, are essential to life in the towering rainforest, in Hum one small gesture of kindness to a stranger ripples out to create a community for those who need it most.

Hum has been created by choreographer and movement director Anjali Mehra, with original music by Luke Brady.

Don’t miss this incredible group offering free, professional dance. World-class dance outside the church and all of it free!
