National Dance Company Wales (NDCW) presents \u2018FOLK,’ a contemporary take on emotions exchanged in a social environment, depicted through dance.<\/h2>\n

Award-winning choreographer Caroline Film\u2019s latest work \u2013 FOLK \u2013 is more than just dance; an interplay between emotions that are felt and behavior that is projected.
\nThe show begins with Camille Giraudeau solo dancing, looking right into your eyes\u00a0throughout her first performance. Her smooth dance moves accompanying her emotionless face and answer-finding gaze echo a sense of discomfort. The confusion between what she is expected to do and what she does is beautifully brought out by her silence, and the soulful background music. The plot is instantly created and made evident through subtle moves.
\nShortly after, she is joined by the rest of the dancers who sometimes dance like penguins, slide on the floor like a whale or pose like the Statue of Liberty, trying to explain what the play is not about. The audience, then, gets to witness a love story portrayed through a contemporary dance and a final confrontational\u00a0freestyle dance.
