Love in Idleness

Love in Idleness trailer from Rachel Dean on Vimeo.

Directed by Rachel Dean

Love in Idleness is a promenade dance theatre performance for all the family – an experience that is never the same twice…

Stumble upon hidden worlds in our most stunning landscaped gardens, led by dancers and live musicians. Inspired by William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this is a playful, mischievous and charming adventure.

Rachel received funding from Grants for the Arts to tour Love in Idleness in summer 2012. The piece was reworked in a residency at Burton Agnes stately home and performances took place in five gardens across Yorkshire, with support from Yorkshire Dance.
