Delve into the intriguing world of bugs with FRWRD Dance Company

Join a talented group of dancers as they creep, crawl, weave, fly, spin, sting, and hatch a mesmerizing array of creatures to life. From the enchanting to the bizarre, iridescent to angular, and from arthropods to arachnids,  LOVEBUG immerses audiences in the extraordinary micro-worlds of insects. Discover the hungry bullfrog’s fly-filled bog, buzz into a bustling beehive, and observe the chrysalis of the contemplative caterpillar. Experience the wispy, winding, wavy walk of the millipede, and rest upon the tall, moonlit grasses of the grasshopper. Written and directed by Lauren Tait, LOVEBUG merges intricate contemporary dance, whimsical poetry, and elaborate costumes and props resulting in a stunning performance designed to inspire wonder and discovery in audiences of all ages.

“Insects play critically important roles in nature that directly impact us. Beyond their ecological roles, the functions they perform that support our survival, insects deserve our love because they are beautiful and fascinating.”

~ Keith Williams, Vice President of Engagement and Education, The Lancaster Conservancy

“The presentation was wonderful.  Our students were captivated.  We all enjoyed listening to each intro. And then discovering which bug would be featured.  I was especially impressed at the attention to detail our students experienced.  Good questions and lots of follow up conversations.”

“Our group really enjoyed Lovebug!! It was a wonderful show to watch. It kept the attention of our little ones for almost the entire duration.  The costumes were visually appealing and well constructed. The dancing showed such talented individuals and match up to, how we believe, each particular insect would move. “
