About Us

Forged Line Dance Company are proud to present 'Lina'

Astronomy, music and dance collide in a powerful and intimate duet, telling the extraordinary story of brother and sister stargazers William and Caroline Herschel.

Lina is a powerful and playful contemporary dance duet, inspired by the lives of brother and sister astronomers William and Caroline Herschel. Both talented musicians and celebrated scientists, they studied the universe, and mapped the stars from their back garden in 18thCentury Bath. Lina delves into their complex relationship, where family love is tested by individual ambition. Dancers swoop and soar like comets, taking us on an extraordinary journey of stars, music and family.

Featuring an original soundtrack by Emma Holbrook incorporating music by William Herschel, Lina draws on science and local history to create a moving, human story of creativity and passion.

An introductory short film offers a fascinating insight into the Herschels' lives, bringing their world of dedication and discovery to life. Created specially to accompany the live performance, the film was made in association with the Herschel Museum of Astronomy and the William Herschel Society.
