Shame

Recommended for ages 14+

Original Music: Jamie Woon and Royce Wood Junior
Choreography: Marso Riviere

In this new work of cutting-edge theatre John Berkavitch is joined by some of the country’s most innovative break-dancers as he explores the feeling of shame through a combination of spoken-word, hip-hop and contemporary dance, illustration, animation and music.

Everyone has something they are ashamed of. A moment in their lives when they knew they were doing the wrong thing. A bad choice, a wasted chance, that thing you wish you hadn't done. That thing you will always regret.

These moments add up and it is the mistakes of our past that make us who we are today.
