Corali Dance Company Brings Phantasia to Bristol
A performance celebrating creativity, imagination and the power of dance comes to Bristol this November.
The show is called Phantasia and has been created by Inclusive dance company – Corali Dance Company. The company celebrates the creativity and talent of their performers with learning disabilities.
Phantasia brings together the unique ideas and artistic expression of the performers. It features two performance pieces exploring the relationship between movement and sound-making.
They present opposing visions of a future world. One is a dream. The second is a nightmare.
Daisy Dreams is inspired by the work of painter Mark Beldan. The artist worked with the dance company to create large flowers painted with gesso and gouache for the set.
It has also been created in collaboration with musician Matt Webb.
Eight dancers will take to the stage for the piece which is described as both “joyful and absurd”.
Mannequin Dreams was inspired by Corali dancer Jackie Ryan’s ideal to work with mannequins.
“You are number 111 in the operating system. Please hold. Your call is important to us. Hello. We are a new civilisation. We move backwards and spin in circles. A memory once there now lost, a memory where I was somebody different; someone who wasn’t abstract.”
Nine dancers will perform this piece. The dancers create a new reality based on memories of a previous world and what it was to be human.
Phantasia is at The Mount from 17 – 19 November 2026
