SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre and Darwin Entertainment Centre present
‘Beautiful’ is hard. Especially on Mondays.
Bea, Edward, Samantha and Emma stood at the school bus stop at the top of a hill. Together. But no one was talking.
Bea felt like she was drowning, not like, really drowning, just a feeling of intense pressure from the entire universe engulfing her whole body. And something else… ‘There are too many mirrors’, she thought.
Recently, Edward had been up late at night, overcome with questions, ‘Do I really get to choose who I want to be? Shouldn’t I just blend in? Isn’t it easier than showing people who I am underneath?'
Samantha wrestled with intrusive thoughts playing over and over, comparing herself to others and others to herself. The constant leap between perfection and failure. That dark flow.
Emma was over getting ambushed by a stream of bad. She wished there was more she could do to help. It wasn't making her feel great. There was too much noise.
Collectively, at the top of the hill, they stopped and took in a deep breath.
Bea said out loud, 'Can we do this?'. And they did, because they were beautiful.
In a world where the standards of beauty are constantly shifting, this refreshing dance theatre work created by youth for youth explores how our values and societal pressures influence our perspectives and the way we see ourselves and others. Will Bea, Edward, Samantha and Emma see the intrinsic beauty in themsleves? Will they see the strength in their beauty? SLIDE Youth Dance presents a unique journey that redefines the idea of beauty.
