RISING dance stars will be at Winchester's Theatre Royal next month as mapdance celebrates its 10th anniversary with a show to delight lovers of contemporary dance.
The evening, on Wednesday February 10, features dance works by world renowned choreographers performed by the University of Chichester’s MA touring company. The thirteen performers comprise dynamic young dancers recruited nationally and internationally.
The dances range from the gentle and lyrical to the fast and physical. The show offers energy, humour and intricate choreography in a mix of styles and music.
The programme will include the wacky History Repeating by Liz Aggiss and the ever popular Roughcut (1990) by Richard Alston. Me And Then by Lee Brummer and Israel Aloni explores the young self inside the older self. Passage by Kevin Finnan is a valediction for refugees who have tried to escape in small boats. The elegant Schemes, Dreams And Machines by Abi Mortimer of Lila Dance is inspired by Leonard da Vinci.
mapdance was described by londondance.com as having ‘breakneck energy, ironic vulgarity and voracious vitality.’
mapdance appears at Theatre Royal Winchester on February 10 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £13.00 (Students£11.50) and are available on 01962 840 440 or at theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk
