AN “unforgettable story told through dance” is coming to Yeovil’s Westlands Entertainment Venue this month.

The award-winning Project Dance Company is premiering its latest show, BUSK, on Thursday August 28 and Friday 29 which organisers say is set to be the dance event of the year.

As seen on the BBC, Somerset-based Project Dance Company has fast established itself as a trailblazing force in the dance world, thanks to its uniquely accessible and emotive productions.

Trademarked by a commitment to telling heartfelt and human new stories, the company is renowned for being loved by dance enthusiasts and first-time theatregoers alike.

Written and choreographed by Yeovil-born director James Bamford, BUSK promises to showcase the company’s roster of exceptional dancers and convey a story of redemption and hope, whilst illustrating the unbound power music has to say what words cannot.

James founded Project Dance when he was 14, as he felt there were not enough opportunities for people to access the art form.

Since then, he has guided the company through seven years of ambitious artistic programming and continued community engagement work, which has led to international recognition.

For the first time in the company’s history, BUSK will also boast an original score of breathtaking and toe-tapping music, composed by Charles Harrison, a revered musician and composer for film and theatre who is also from Yeovil.

“To have an original score is a dream come true,” said James Bamford.

“Project Dance prides itself on creating new work and so it feels only fitting that our productions are anchored by original music also.

“As a choreographer, collaborating with Charles has informed and inspired me more than I could have ever imagined. This year, our audiences are going to experience Project Dance like never before, as breathtaking dancers collide with a heart-rending score to tell a story that will resonate with everyone.”
