Enjoy the Jane Austen Dancers narrating and dancing their way through Jane Austen’s publishing years - using her personal letters and news of the day as inspiration. Jane frequently mentioned her novels in her letters, which she thought of as her children, so we bring these letters to life, in a way that we think Jane would have liked - using narration, drama and dance.We join Jane’s journey in 1811 when her first novel is published, and we travel with her and her letters, through every year until her passing in 1817. For each year, we look at the novel she is publishing and how that was managed. Punctuated with quotes from her letters/novels, we also hear the headline news, and gossip, from the greater world, and finally top the year off with a relevant, themed selection of dances.
