Blue Elephant Theatre, Camberwell

We all have it - baggage, the invisible burdens we carry that are often too complex, too personal, and too heavy to share.

This duet, combining tap, contemporary dance, and original live music, delves into the emotional journey of carrying these unseen weights. Baggage offers a heartfelt exploration into the highs and lows of life, presenting an uplifting, relatable, and moving piece of dance theatre that seeks to connect us all through our shared experiences.

Baggage was created under A Space to Call Home funded by Arts Council England, and delivered by Marina Studios Foundation in partnership with DanceHub CIC.

A section of the performance contains multiple, sustained loud noises.

This performance of Baggage will be a chilled performance, meaning there is a more casual approach to noise and movement in the auditorium, and audience members can go in and out of the auditorium during the show as they need to.

This performance of Baggage is presented as part of Blue Elephant Theatre's Festival for All, showcasing performances by disabled and neurodivergent artists, which is funded by Southwark Council's Culture Together Fund.
