Artistic Directors Jenni Wren (Slanjayvah Danza) and Aurora Fearnley (Little Northern Light) combine their creative talents to produce and release the most significant work to be seen this year.

From the tormented life of medieval Spanish Queen ‘Juana la Loca', through the backstreets of Buenos Aires at the birth of the Tango - to a neighbourhood near you.

This is an excerpt taken from Crazy Joanna "a socially conscientious, dance film integrated work recounting the anguished escape of a woman trapped in abusive relationships."

The full 35min dance performance isn't touring again this year, but plans are already being made to show this work with it's predecessor Blind Passion and the new work in development Minor Tears, which will complete Slanjayvah Danza's trillogy exploring passion.

Bold shapes and minimal colour characterise this gravity-defying piece by Aurora Fearnley, whose dance film tells the story of a woman trapped in limbo, in the grey hinterland of movement.
