Candoco
Dance Company, the contemporary dance company of disabled and non-disabled
performers, has been creating acclaimed and cutting edge work for 25 years. In
this bold double bill, Candoco presents commissions from two of the most
exciting artistic talents working in the UK today.
Following
a lauded UK tour in autumn 2014, Hetain Patel’s Let’s Talk About Dis returns
to the stage to captivate audiences once more. Let’s Talk About
Dis is a playful and intimate piece that builds on
an exploration of the dancers’ personalities and bodies, interrogating
questions of what identity is and how it is formed. With seductive charm,
Hetain challenges audiences to think beyond surface appearances, exposing
hidden prejudices and absurd political correctness.
Alexander
Whitley creates visually striking dance pieces, which incorporate sinuous and
expressive movement articulations. Set to a mesmerising score by composer Nils
Frahm, this is a resonant and emotive piece performed with reckless flair.
CounterActs blends playful choreography
with thought-provoking ideas. A stirring programme that shows contemporary dance in a new light, affirming Candoco’s position as
the company that is pushing boundaries and challenging notions of dance.
Please note this show has a 20 minute interval.
