Legend of Lovers' Leap


Synopsis:

This is one of the choreographies created for the company by its choreographer Eddy Thomas and is based on a tragic Jamaican legend which tells the story of Liza, a house slave, and Ako, a slave boy who fell in love with her against the desire of her master. The performance used a contemporary dance idiom which reflected the choreographer's training at the Martha Graham school in New York.
