In the Zone - by Shaun Parker Company and starring Lilly Montilla

Hip-hop dance, gaming technology, imagination and captivating new musical technology combine to take your students on a fantastic journey of inspiration and empowerment when IN THE ZONE bursts on to the stage at the MEC. This wonderfully innovative show takes digital technology and escapism as a launching point to explore resilience, self-discovery, communication, and environmental themes that directly affect children and young adults grappling with living in an online world. In a time when aspects of cyber-life can overwhelm developing minds and inhibit socialisation, IN THE ZONE weaves a beautiful narrative of strength, perseverance, and connection to the natural world through the groundbreaking musical technology of “Air Sticks” and body animation in a bravura solo performance from Libby Montilla.
IN THE ZONE takes gaming and online interaction as a point of inspiration and celebrates the spectacular worlds that we can explore with technology today. It also provides young audiences with the insight that they are much more in control of their own emotional responses that they think they are.
