Ransack Dance Company tour to The Torch with their new show ‘Us and Them’

Published

on

RANSACK DANCE will be touring to the Torch Theatre this February with an ambitious double-bill production of athletic contemporary dance, spoken word and live music. There will also be performances from local community members.

Us and Them at the Torch Theatre on Friday 2 February at 7.30pm will explore both togetherness and separation. How we connect with some people by sharing experiences, whilst disconnecting with others by creating barriers. This powerful piece is also performed alongside local groups from across the community. Some groups will feature in the stage performance while others will be showcasing the work they have done in workshops with the main company dancers.

Artistic Director of Ransack Dance, Sarah Rogers said: “We are delighted to be bringing this exciting work to communities across Wales. Ransack Dance is committed to producing high quality dance theatre productions, and making work that is accessible, engaging and thought provoking to people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds.

“We are looking forward to working and dancing with the community groups on the tour and sharing our performance with audiences. We’ve also worked to make the production accessible for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing people by incorporating Sign Language (BSL) creatively into the performance. We hope that alongside making the work more accessible we hope that this has created exciting choreography for audiences to enjoy too.”

Us and Them will be on the Torch Theatre stage on Friday 2 February at 7.30pm. Ticket prices standard: £15, Under 26: £12. For tickets phone the Box Office on 01646 695267 or visit torchtheatre.co.uk.

Published

on

FOLLOWING last year’s spectacular event, the Waterfront Community Runners are excited to announce the highly anticipated return of their 5K Charity Night Run on Milford Waterfront on Saturday 9 November 2024, in support of the RNLI.

This year’s run promises an unforgettable evening of fun, community spirit, and nostalgia, bringing back the best of the 80s to Milford Haven.

The evening’s festivities kick off at 6pm with an array of activities and entertainment creating an electric atmosphere from start to finish. Runners and supporters alike can look forward to live performances by the Samba DOC Band, a raffle stall with exciting prizes, and a selection of hot drinks and homemade cakes. The 80s-themed event encourages all participants to dress in neon, sparkles, or fancy dress, and get ready to run, dance, and celebrate for an important cause.

In line with the event’s night run theme, all participants are required to bring a head or chest torch to light their path along the route. Registration is open on the night from 4pm to 5:30pm with only 250 spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. To save time, runners can download the registration form in advance; however, early form submission does not guarantee entry. Due to safety concerns, dogs and pushchairs are not permitted, and children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. 

The registration form can be downloaded here. This event is a “fun run” and will not feature official timing, allowing participants to fully enjoy the unique atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to bring cash for on-site donations to the RNLI, as well as to enjoy treats and warm drinks at the event stalls.

Volunteers from Milford Haven’s Lifeboat Station are preparing to participate in the upcoming event, proudly wearing their helmets, life jackets and high-visibility gear. Their involvement not only demonstrates their dedication to the local community but also emphasises the crucial role the RNLI plays in ensuring safety at sea, all while raising funds for the organisation’s essential operations.
