A FULL programme of shows and activities to get through to the summer has been unveiled by Trestle.
The St Albans arts base in Russet Drive launches the new season next month with a collaboration between its resident theatre company Trestle and emerging company Moon Fool.
Moon Fool: Ill Met By Moonlight is a re-imagining of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and it will be performed in St Albans before going off on a UK tour.
Dance and music is featured with Roam, a journey through dance, live music and poetry into the Tom Dale Dance Company's complex world of sub bass and percussion.
That will be followed by Emerge which explores the impact, inspiration and use of technology in today's world through dance.
In April Alejandro Toledo and The Magic Tombolinos come to Trestle from the London circuit, bringing foot-stomping and soul-lifting Balkan gipsy styles to the stage.
