Powerful new dance theatre show coming to Torch Theatre

Let Life Dance will be performed at the Torch Theatre and features a cast of disabled and non-disabled dancers in a moving exploration of the human experience.
The performance tells the story of a group navigating life's complexities as they reconnect with themselves, each other, and the world around them.
A spokesperson for the show said: "Interweaved with music composed by Jered Sorkin, we know each of us is needed, like the pieces of an elaborate puzzle, to create balance in the world.
"There is something to be learnt from every human experience."
The production is presented by Humans Move, an emerging professional inclusive dance company that aims to be disability-led and celebrates the value of difference.
Choreographed by award-winning choreographer Jessie Brett, Let Life Dance asks what happens when people defy their true nature and examines how life can move through us despite barriers.
The performance will take place at the Torch Theatre on Tuesday, June 24, at 7pm.
Tickets are priced at £15, with concessions available for £14.

Torch Theatre invites entries for panto villain competition

The Torch Theatre's latest design competition will see the winning entry transformed into a key character for this year's festive pantomime, Rapunzel. Entrants are being asked to imagine and create an 'evil sea creature' that will appear on stage throughout the show, which runs from Saturday, December 6 to Sunday, December 28. Tim Howe, senior manager of youth and community at the Torch Theatre, said: "This year's adventure starts with you. "Get involved by helping us to design one of our pantomime baddies – an evil sea creature. "Under the command of the dastardly Mother Gothel, this sea creature scares and traps our heroes deep underwater. "But what does it look like? "It could be part octopus, shark and stingray. "Or is it more like a dolphin with fangs and tentacles? "We just don't know. "We're a little bit stuck and need your help." The Torch Theatre is encouraging young people to let their imaginations run wild. Entries can be created in any format, including collage, digital art or hand-drawn designs. Mr Howe said: "You can send us your ideas for a design in any format. "They could be made of a collage of images and textures, cutouts from magazines, strips of material, created on the computer or they could be hand drawn – let your imaginations run wild." The winning creation will be brought to life by the theatre's production team and featured in every performance of Rapunzel. The competition is open to three age groups: under fives, five to 10, and 11 to 18. A winner will be selected from each category, with one overall winner seeing their design turned into the on-stage sea creature. All entries will be displayed in the Joanna Field Gallery at the Torch Theatre throughout December. Last year's 'Design a Golden Object' competition for Jack and the Beanstalk attracted nearly 200 entries. The Torch Theatre is hoping to see even greater participation this year. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 10, 2025. Entries should be created on A4 paper and include the designer's name, school or college, and contact details on the back. Designs should be sent to Mother Gothel's Sea Creature Competition, Torch Theatre, St Peter's Rd, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, SA73 2BU. In addition to the main performances, the Torch Theatre has scheduled a relaxed environment performance of Rapunzel for Saturday, December 13 at 2pm, and a BSL-interpreted performance on Tuesday, December 16 at 6pm.
