The Caretakers
The Caretakers, performed by the MYDC Junior Dancers
‘Fan Hyn’ is a site-specific performance presented at and inspired by Dance Blast and its
surroundings. Whispers of the past emerge from the buildings around us and mingle with the
present. Our stories and characters emerge like shadows from the books we read and are
presented to you through beautiful scenes of Dance and Aerial Circus.
Performed by Monmouthshire Youth Dance Company, Monmouthshire Connected Dance Company and Monmouthshire Contemporary Circus Company.

Directed by Kim Noble and Elle Kate.
