In a special event for Lighthouse Great and Best Friends, some of our most enthusiastic supporters gained a rare insight as the dancers and musicians of Flamenco Origenes warmed up for their recent performance on our Theatre stage.
Jonathan Smith, Lighthouse Friends and Individual Giving Executive, joined them...
The company welcomed the exclusive audience of Great and Best Friends to their pre-show rehearsal and it was fascinating to see how the performers know exactly what they need on stage to be able to perform at their best, and for the audience to enjoy, as they tested the speakers and sound levels to get the quality they wanted.
We were wowed by some of their amazing footwork and elegant movement as the dancers prepared and heard some of the history of Flamenco in a short Q&A session afterwards.
Generously, the company generously also offered our Great and Best Friends tickets for just £18 to their show.
It was such energetic, intoxicating dance and very graceful with the shawls and flowing dresses. The music and singing took us on journeys all around the world in a totally soul-lifting performance. The rhythms were infectious, and I don’t think there was anyone in the audience who wasn’t toe-tapping along.
Lighthouse was delighted to make this experience possible for our members.
