Taking place at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale is a dance show with a deep message from 201 Dance Company .



SKIN is the tale of one boy's experience of gender transition. Following a cast of seven dancers, the tale will take the viewer on a journey of what it means to have an identity that doesn't match your body, how families deal with gender transitions and what it means to belong. The show is choreographed by Andrea Walker.
