The Shingle Dance

by Ian Miller

The Shingle Dance follows the lonely Max Helter as he struggles to come to terms with life after losing the use of his legs in an accident.  Trained as a dancer, Max cuts off all contact from those around him, and moves to a desolate hut on the coast.  Painstakingly, he creates human like machines that can dance in his stead, and in doing so, is forced to build the beginnings of a new relationship – one that eventually leads him to rediscover life.

Icon Theatre has spent two weeks researching and developing music and stage techniques for this piece, following the award of an Arts Council project grant.

The Shingle Dance is an evocative, sensually rich piece of writing with the potential for song, dance, mask and puppetry in its full stage production. If you would be interested in keeping up to date with developments please email us.
