DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to Let’s Dance International Frontiers (LDIF) 2016 as we celebrate six years of bringing innovative dance from around the world to Leicester. This year LDIF focuses on Black Women in Dance: Stepping out of the Barriers, with a conference and programme reflecting upon the challenges that have faced Black women in the world of dance, but also celebrate the tenacity, strength and creativity of these women.

We are delighted to host the ground breaking performance ensemble Urban Bush Women (UBW) for an exclusive feature in LDIF16’s programme. Having last performed in Leicester nearly 30 years ago UBW will be sharing poignant pieces from their repertoire and the UK debut of their exciting new work ‘Walking with ‘Trane, Side A’. We are delighted that Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, UBW’s founder and visioning partner, will be accompanying the ensemble on their residency and will be the keynote speaker for our conference.

The conference; Black Women in Dance: Stepping out the Barriers, with a panel of key voices from the sector, is a much needed opportunity to hear the stories of how Black Women have shaped and continue to shape the cultural landscape of dance, in the UK and internationally.

Other highlights of LDIF16 include Signatures, a commissioning platform presenting seven new works from emerging artists. Signatures has nurtured and supported over 45 choreographers and their associates to date, including Cameron McKinney, Rhian Comley and Dan Daw who return for Autograph showcasing their choreographic development over the last year.

This year LDIF16 will host the UK premieres of two key dance documentaries; A Ballerina’s Tale, following the career of Misty Copeland, who recently made history as the first African-American woman to gain status as the principal dancer of American Ballet Theater and the emotional Black Ballerina, an intergenerational tale of several Black women who fell in love with ballet.

For the LDIF16 launch we welcome back Catherine Dénécy, who first captivated us in 2013, continuing to draw on the richness of the Creole diaspora, with her enchanting work Mi-Chaud, Mi-Froid embodying the women who have shaped the political history of Guadeloupe. The date also marks International Dance Day, embracing the cosmopolitan and international nature of Leicester and linking the city with celebrations taking place around the world.

Finally, I would like to thank all those involved with LDIF16; whether artists, funders, partners, volunteers, participants and audiences. This fantastic programme would not be possible without your support.

So, Let’s Dance!

Pawlet Brookes, Artistic Director

We are also excited to be able to introduce Light Steps, a beautiful new work by Adesola Akinleye with her company DancingStrong which encourages dance lovers of all ages to fill the space with colour and movement. Adesola has also crafted a reflective performance for Biography at Leicester’s historic Guildhall. The occasion will also see the launch of our publication Blurring Boundaries: Urban Street Meets Contemporary Dance.

LDIF 2016 LAUNCH

Mi-Chaud, Mi-Froid: on ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde.

Mid-hot, Mid-cold: you can’t please everyone.

Catherine Dénécy Friday 29 April – 7:00pm Victorian Gallery, New Walk Museum and Art Gallery Price: £15 A bold encounter between live music, recorded music and contemporary dance, Mi-Chaud, Mi-Froid sets it scene in an underground jazz club, where the audience is invited to pry into the career, the struggles, the victories and the secrets of its patroness. The piece is inspired by Lucette Michaux-Chevry, a former president of the regional council of the French overseas department of Guadeloupe, a ‘Maîtresse Femme’ who defined a generation in Guadeloupean politics. Catherine Dénécy offers a beautiful analogy between the world of politics and that of show business.

Having made her UK début at LDIF in 2013, Catherine Dénécy returns to launch LDIF16 with this entrancing production accompanied by the talents of composer, MC and DJ Exxós Métkakola, drummer Jérôme Castry and bass player Stéphane Castry, supported by dramaturge Elodie Paul. Mi-Chaud, Mi-Froid was originally commissioned for L’Artchipel Scène Nationale de Guadeloupe for the project Mythologies Politiques.

SIGNATURES Light.Jux.Real NuProjeks “A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.” – Criss Jami, Salomé.

Contrasting and combining quirky contemporary techniques and abstract Hip Hop styles, Elle Church and Rebekah Roberts play with the medium of light; revealing, distorting and casting shadows.

A Rough Guide to Al Alex Rowland Trashdollys Dance Theatre Inspired by travels to Brazil, A Rough Guide to Al is an exciting new piece of multi-medium dance theatre by Alex Rowland. Drawing on personal experiences, the piece transports the audience on a kaleidoscopic journey of emotional changes through one man’s shifting perceptions of cultural identity.

Artism Eric Nyira and David Gellura Exzeb Dance Company Pushing boundaries, Artism is an exciting solo offering a new exhilarating perspective. Merging pure contemporary dance techniques with motion capture technologies to extend the stage and elevate performances to new dimensions.

Keeping dance at its heart and using innovation as an instrument.

Red Pulse Jessica Faux Red Pulse reflects Jessica’s passion for powerful yet controlled movement that creates a rhythmical connection with the intense music to drive the momentum of the piece. This solo highlights pulsating and sharp changes in dynamics to suggest a metaphorical heartbeat. A third year dance student at De Montfort University, Jessica will be graduating in July.

Utopia Protocol Dance Company For thousands of years human beings have dreamt of perfect worlds, worlds free of conflict, hunger and unhappiness. But can these worlds ever exist in reality? Utopia follows the journey of a group of men who attempt to discover a perfect world beyond themselves. However, the answers they find are not what they expected.

Choreographed by Lanre Malaolu.

Swan Lake II: Dark Waters PanicLab A dark, humorous portrait of a prince stranded on an island of feathers, forced to confront his loneliness and isolation once happily ever after has expired. In this reluctant spectacle, an estranged ode to the original ballet, performer Jordan Lennie fluctuates between man and creature whose grasp on reality is growing increasingly questionable.

Awakening Louisa Robey Awakening explores the notion of hybridity and was inspired by a number of fictional part-human part-creature characters found in classical plays and novels. It includes specific animalistic movement investigations that exude a sense of curiosity and discovery of the body’s capabilities which led Louisa to question the limit and potential of her own physical abilities.

Recommended ages 16+. Contains nudity. * Curve transaction fee is ÂŁ3 for all card payments.

Excludes Curve members, Groups 10+ and customers printing tickets at home.

With (some of) the Confidence of a White Male Cameron McKinney With (Some of) the Confidence of a White Male explores the many aspects of contemporary society that weigh on the self-esteem of today’s Black man.

What keeps us from talking with pride, walking without fear, dancing without judgment? From police brutality to white privilege and affirmative action, comedic tidbits mix with hip-hop music and poetry to examine which stereotypes are based in truth and to reclaim a sporadically known attitude of defiance.

Responded Rhian Comley Using experiences as an emerging artist, Rhian reflects on her choreographic practice and technique from the vantage of others, and in turn offers a reply.

Exploring the facets of communication, with particular consideration for the non-verbal pathways of the hands, itself a response to comments made on her style of dance. Responded embodies a narrative around communication, a reaction to things said and done.

AUTOGRAPH

On One Condition Dan Daw Thursday 12 May – 7:30pm Attenborough Arts Centre Price: £10, £8 Serendipity, Dance4 and Attenborough Arts Centre are proud to present the UK premiere of On One Condition.

Choreographed by Graham Adey and performed by Dan Daw, On One Condition is a bare bones, stripped back look at the world we live in. In his undying attempts at perfection, one man attempts to hold the world on his shoulders in all its beauty and grotesqueness. As an emerging choreographer Graham is interested in looking at social structures, what is considered normal behaviour and how that is reflected through different cultures. In making On One Condition, he was interested in drawing stories from Dan’s lived experiences that reflect people’s attitudes toward him on first meetings, from his adolescence to the present day.

On One Condition is a co-production between Dan Daw Creative Projects and Murmuration Dance Theatre.

BIOGRAPHY

Passing (2): the price of a ticket Adesola Akinleye Wednesday 11 May – 7:30pm Guildhall Price: £10 Biography is a platform that recognises and celebrates the work of experienced dance practitioners.

This year features a new commission from Adesola Akinleye. Adesola is the artistic director of DancingStrong, an umbrella organisation encompassing art, education, performance and choreography, having begun her professional career as a dancer with the Dance Theatre of Harlem.

Adesola’s new work Passing (2): the price of a ticket attempts to explore the notion of a movement biography, using dance and projected light to trace the biographical experience of an artist identifying as a ‘Black Dancer’. The work questions the projection of identity and the transient nature of ‘Self’. If identity is transient and sense of self held in the transaction (relationships and rhythms) of ‘now’, how do we pass each other on the journey of life? How do we write our own and each other’s narratives?

Image Credit: Barry Lewis, Paul White, Karen King, Richard Calmes

This event will also celebrate the launch of Blurring Boundaries: Urban Street meets Contemporary Dance, with an introduction by contributor ‘Funmi Adewole. The publication gives a voice to dance practitioners and university based researchers as they discuss the political and social origins of Urban Street dance, and embrace the global developments in this sector which are leading to the diversity of current dance styles.

The evening also introduces a new work by emerging artist Jessica Walker Tick the Box (Mixed Other). Performed in an intense silence, Jessica negotiates a middle ground from which she can satisfy both sides of her White/ Black heritage. Through combining fluidity and coarseness, Jessica captures moments of success, failure and exposes her reality of meeting cultural expectations.

LIGHT STEPS DancingStrong Adesola Akinleye Sunday 8 May 2016 – 11:00am, 3:00pm Attenborough Arts Centre Price: £7 – £25 (party of four) Light Steps is a dance piece for young audiences following the amazing day of a puppet called Alex. As the sun travels across the sky moments of Alex’s day are marked with wonder, music and dance.

Alex wakes to morning light, watches a cloud move over the sun at mid-day, plays in the waves as the tide comes in and goes to bed to the rays of the sunset. Light Steps encourages young audiences to join Alex in dancing and moving through the different points in Alex’s day.

The piece takes young audiences on a magical journey using light and colour as a portal through moments in time. Adesola Akinleye’s work comes to life through dance and music, with costumes and props designed by Andy Hamer and live music composed and performed by Jake Alexander.

Characters and objects in the piece are inspired by drawings and dances created with young people during a residency at Bromstone Primary School in Broadstairs.

Light Steps is a new production by Adesola Akinleye DancingStrong, specially created for children and family audiences. The piece takes inspiration from an exhibition by artist Spencer Finch, The Skies Can’t Keep Their Secret, which was on show at the Turner Contemporary in Margate in 2014.

Please note: The audience sit on the same level as the dancers’ performance space

DANCE ON FILM

Dance Documentaries A Ballerina’s Tale: Misty Copeland

Black Ballerina

Thursday 5 May – 7:00pm Phoenix Cinema Price: £8

Monday 9 May – 7:00pm Phoenix Cinema Price: £8

Dir: Nelson George, USA 2015 1 hr 25 mins

Dir: Frances McElroy, USA 2015 1 hr 30 mins

Of the small number of Black women in classical ballet, Misty Copeland has pulled herself up the ladder at American Ballet Theater (ABT) from the studio company to the corps de ballet to soloist.

A Ballerina’s Tale is an intimate look at Misty’s prodigious rise, her potentially career ending injury, alongside challenges around race and body image in the elite ballet world.

Black Ballerina is a story of passion, opportunity, heartbreak and triumph of the human spirit. It tells the stories of several Black women from different generations who fell in love with ballet.

Six decades ago, while pursuing their dreams of careers in classical dance, Joan Myers Brown, Delores Browne and Raven Wilkinson confronted racism, exclusion and unequal opportunity.

Have things changed for young Black ballerinas today?

CONFERENCE Black Women in Dance: Stepping Out of the Barriers Tuesday 10 May – 9:00am City Hall Price: £55 – £45 Concessions/Early Bird £35* Black Women in Dance: Stepping out of the Barriers, will reflect upon the challenges that have faced Black Women in the world of dance, but also celebrate the tenacity, strength and creativity of these women; from the trailblazers such as Josephine Baker, Florence Mills and Katherine Dunham to the contemporary ground breakers of Germaine Acogny, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Brenda Edwards MBE and others.

The conference will aim to explore the aesthetics that have shaped Black dance in America; the classical repertories of Alvin Ailey and Dance Theatre of Harlem, through to Urban Bush Women whose style is grounded in history and cultural identity.

The event will also look at the struggle for a sustainable Black voice in the UK dance scene; with companies such as Phoenix Dance and Ballet Black, and dance agencies such as ADAD and State of Emergency, who have long strived to ensure that the cultural landscape of British dance reflects the Black British presence.

But crucially the conference will give a voice to women in dance; to tell their own stories, share their own perspectives, highlight key issues and work towards making a bright future for Black Women in Dance.

Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, the founder and visioning partner of Urban Bush Women is the keynote speaker. Other speakers include Adesola Akinleye, DancingStrong; Deborah Baddoo, State of Emergency; Hilary S. Carty, Co-Creatives Consulting; Catherine Dénécy; Pam Johnson, Arts Council England; Mercy Nabirye, ADAD; Maureen Salmon, Freshwaters Consultancy; Louise Sutton, Arts Council England; Jessica Walker; Sharon Watson, Phoenix Dance Theatre; and the event will be hosted by Pawlet Brookes, Serendipity.

The event will also include two especially commissioned pieces of dance.

Zugzwang choreographed and performed by Tara Lopez, with music by Edison Herbert, and Tick the Box (Mixed Other), choreographed and performed by Jessica Walker. *Early Bird Available until 28 March 2016

CREATIVE EDUCATION Loft Technique Workshop with Cameron McKinney Thursday 5 May Available to book for groups, recommended for students age 14 years + Please call 0116 257 7316 or email info@serendipity-uk.com for more information and to book.

Cameron McKinney is a choreographer, dancer, teacher, and author based in New York City. He is the Artistic Director of Kizuna Dance. Cameron has taught across the US, and in the UK and Japan. He is the creator of Loft Technique, a unique blend of house dance, street dance, breaking, capoeira, and contemporary floorwork.

This class will combine the grace of modern with the speed and grace of hip-hop and house dance. Phrases will involve every part of the body whether in the air or on the ground. The class focuses on how to move from high to low to high again, and how to rediscover “the down” corporeally through footwork and spatially through floor work. By shifting the focus from internal dialogue to creating movement that, in its own physicality, can tell a story by itself, the class will delve deeper into the cathartic ability of sweat and exhaustion, while offering a new and active method of expression.

URBAN BUSH WOMEN

Friday 13 May – Saturday 14 May – 7:45PM Curve Price: £16 – £14 – £12 £12 For groups of 10+ and 15% Off for Curve Members* Led by the vision of its award-winning founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, UBW seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of the African diaspora to light through dance. Since UBW burst onto the dance scene in 1984, the company has made an indelible mark on the field with bold, innovative, demanding and exciting works that challenge long-held assumptions about women, people of colour, body type, styles of movement, society and history.

Renowned around the world for their breath-taking performances, the company will present the UK debut of their innovative new work Walking with ‘Trane, Side A alongside a reimagining of their iconic dark swan.

Walking with ‘Trane, Side A

dark swan

Inspired by the musical life and spiritual journey of John Coltrane, a composer at the forefront of jazz innovation in a racially-charged America of the 50s and 60s, Walking with ‘Trane, Side A, ‘Just a closer walk with ‘Trane’, is a conjuring of Coltrane’s essence, based in rooted understandings of his music and “known” traditions pushed into heightened performance “states,” from cool to hot, from ancient field hollers to gospel cadences, strange reed riffs drive a spiraling physical journey through echoes of the blues, bebop, hard bop, free jazz, scored in a dazzling array by Phillip White.

Originally choreographed as a striking solo by award-winning choreographer Nora Chipaumire in an effort to respond to and acknowledge contemporary dance’s debt to Russian ballet masters, dark swan is a radical homage to Anna Pavlova’s ‘The Dying Swan’. Meditating on women’s struggle to be free, dark swan interrogates the presentation and representation of the African female body re-imagined as a captivating group performance.

Created by Choreographers, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Samantha Speis and Dramaturg, Talvin Wilks in collaboration with the company.

* Curve transaction fee is £3 for all card payments.

Excludes Curve members, Groups 10+ and customers printing tickets at home
