A dance theatre piece that follows six dancers as they grow up and mature. They chase two things, two key concepts: a Star, what they want to be, and a Pearl, who they truly are. As we age, we face hardships and epiphanies whilst reaching up to our star and down to our pearl. A contemporary dance show with influences of hip hop, gymnastics, jazz and ballet, this show is for any artist who doesn't or does feel like they know their place in this world.
