Love Bug

LOVEBUG merges intricate movement, playful original poetry, and elaborate costumes and props to create visually compelling dance theatre. Experience a hungry bullfrog’s fly-filled bog, a bustling beehive, the chrysalis of the contemplative caterpillar, and the web of the bella tarantella, in a piece that will spark wonder and discovery in audiences young and old.

This presentation is a collaboration with Gretna Theatre.
