Under the treetops

Under the treetops is a contemporary dance performance, celebrating nature and the significance of trees, intertwined with stories of the community. Performed by Dew Dance, we explore how trees signify growth, sustain life and is a place of shelter. Trees are home.

​Originally choreographed for a bespoke outdoor performance, Under the treetops has been further developed and adapted for stage showcased as a work in progress at Oxford Dance Forum’s Scratch Night in October 2022.

​The performance weaves in stories from our community base in High Wycombe, which we gathered at a creative movement workshop earlier this year. It makes it more personal and allows us to bring our audience into the experience as well. 

​Under the treetops was originally created as part of Buckinghamshire Culture’s Open Weekend and presented in partnership with Wycombe Arts Centre.​

We were inspired by the ethos and theme of this year's Bucks Open Weekend theme, trees and green, and started the creation of this work specifically for this event. We are currently looking for partners and outdoor venues to partner with and to tour too.
