Rathimalar Govindarajoo and January Low dance their way through ‘rehab’

Two local dancers are inspired by the similarities and contrasts between them to create a contemporary dance work.

Two dancers began their journey in much the same place. Life, though, like dance, is not linear, and each of them moved down their own undulating paths. But life, like the best works of art, often takes us by surprise, and those two dancers found themselves somehow drawn back together.
