Picnic by Etta Ermini Dance Theatre
Picnic is a 20 minutes outdoor physical theatre work by Etta Ermini Dance Theatre. The performance features a young couple whose lush and joyful picnic is disrupted by the quirks and pitfalls of their relationship. Audience interaction, food, comedy and a highly dynamic movement vocabulary make Picnic an enjoyable experience for children and adults alike.
Review:
Beautiful synchronized movement, playful comedy and great story telling all came together in this delightful production by Etta Ermini Dance Theatre. This is dance theatre at its best and being transported on a freezing cold winter’s day to a picnic in high summer was a welcome and enjoyable treat!

Etta Ermini Dance Theatre
Etta Ermini Dance Theatre was founded in 2005 with the aim to explore
human relationships through cross art form storytelling techniques.
The physical theatre company works with an interdisciplinary approach and
examines relationships through dance, theatre, spoken word and other
creative disciplines. In extracting elements of the absurd, the Company
uncovers the dark humour in dramatic events and together with audience
interaction weaves this into a series of theatrical vignettes for a range of
audiences.
The company is committed to making fun and entertaining work that appeals
to all ages and backgrounds. The Company aims to make work that can be
presented both indoor and outdoor and that has universal appeal in its
execution. Etta Ermini Dance Theatre has performed and delivered
workshops in London, UK and abroad.
