Carrying the Calf
By Shirley Barrie
Excellent showcase roles for actresses.
A teenager fed-up with being bullied drags her reluctant friend to a self-defence class. More important than the karate training, the instructor challenges the group to find self-confidence, independence, and to choose their own destiny.
The scenes are linked by katas: the strictly choreographed, powerful sequences of movements that are a central part of karate.
Highlights
- DORA Award for outstanding theatre for young audiences
- Chalmer's Award winner
