The Station – GDANCE Academy

Description

Classification

It’s 1942, and a grand railway station comes to life across a single day — from the first light of morning to the very last train home. As the world passes through the platform, one young woman waits: Rose has farewelled her sister to the war with a single promise — be home on the last train. And so she waits. Around her, an entire wartime world moves through the station. Travellers and the loved ones who farewell them, soldiers and nurses, evacuee children and cheeky stowaways, glamorous performers and weary night workers, and a mysterious mime whose suitcase is never quite what it seems. Letters are sorted and sent, telegrams dreaded and delivered, and trains arrive carrying loved ones home.

Told through ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and acro, The Station is a sweeping, heartfelt journey of departures and arrivals, laughter and longing, and the enduring hope that keeps us waiting for the ones we love. Step aboard with the full company of GDANCE Academy.
