A WORD FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE We’ve got an amazing upcoming programme – how can you support us?

The staff here at Pavilion Dance South West (PDSW) are motivated by a passion to bring you the most engaging, humane, impressive dance to watch or take part in. Our theatre and studios are in Bournemouth and we have a strong local focus to our work. Check out the rest of this brochure to see the impressive selection of classes, events and performances that are coming up.

We frequently hear stories about the positive impact our work has on individuals. It can, quite literally, be life-affirming and life-changing. We are privileged to receive feedback from some of the people whose lives it has touched:

“[My daughter] is on the Autism Spectrum and as yet hasn't learned to talk and is a little behind in her understanding and motor skills.

She absolutely adores music and dance and it's so nice to see her be able to enjoy herself freely but also starting to learn to take some instruction from a teacher outside of nursery.”

A Parent

The quality of work and the connection we make between dance and the public is recognised by incredibly important grants from Arts Council England and Bournemouth Borough Council – but that only covers 47% of our costs. We are a charity and we need money and volunteers to keep our work going. Would you like to help? Maybe your business would like to partner with us as a sponsor of a high quality contemporary dance show? Or maybe you’d like to give us a few hours a month to help look after the public at events?

Do get in touch with us for a chat. We look forward to getting to know you.

Please contact us on 01202 203630 or get in touch with our Development Team – more details on page 5.

Zannah Doan, Chief Executive.

a close encounter of the extraordinary kind: Medea returns from history. This time, she's telling her side of the story…

This startling, contemporary reimagining of the ancient Greek legend of passion and revenge casts Medea as the ultimate outsider, a stranger filled with rage in a foreign land.

Her monologue transports us from ancient Greece to modern Europe and back again in a provocative, blood-soaked collage of performance, opera, and sexual confession.

With the kind support of The Institut français du Royaume Uni, SACD France, South East Dance, Theatre of Europe, Marlborough Theatre, And What? Queer Arts Festival, and FOLKE.

an experience falling between dance, performance and visual art, watched from above

A scene, from above: three dancers and three towels lying in a neat, white square, almost like a beach. But then their world is transformed by black sand raining down and we watch as the floor turns into a canvas and the dancers’ bodies into paint brushes.

LAST MAN STANDING

by James Wilton Dance

Thu 30 Nov, 7.30pm £12/£10/£8/£6 (details p. 37) Running time: 85 mins inc. interval

EXPECT

to see dancers fly through the air and land quite literally at your feet: edge-of-your seat physicality, accompanied by a soundtrack of driving rock music

Danger, the fragility of existence and the desire to survive. How do we respond? With fear, anger, determination? What about hope?

Last Man Standing draws from the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice as well as The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett.

It follows a female protagonist as her world falls apart around her.

James Wilton may be the future of British choreography

Save your breath, it may be your last.

Alec Kinnear, www.uncoy.com

PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME

From the company that was last seen in Bournemouth with Leviathan, Last Man Standing is dance driven by unparalleled power and athleticism, performed by world class dancers.

James Wilton’s work draws on martial arts, breakdancing and capoeira to create raw, earthy and groundbreaking performance; all of this propelled by a trademark soundtrack of heavy rock, ambient music and textured soundscapes.

£8/£6 (details p. 37)

a revealing look at the lives of two ballet superstars

The theme this season is “Behind the Barre”, featuring documentaries about two dance icons. The first is former Royal Ballet superstar Sergei Polunin in surprise box office smash, Dancer, followed by the UK premiere of Sylvie Guillem – considered by many to be the ultimate embodiment of the art form – in Sur le fil/On the edge.

These are revealing portraits of two of the greatest dancers of the last 50 years, capturing their unparalleled talent and complex characters as never before.

DANCER Directed by Steven Cantor | Special contribution from David Lachapelle

Thu 26 Oct, 7.30pm Running time: 85 mins

ON SCREEN

Blessed with astonishing power and poise, Sergei Polunin took the dance world by storm and became the Royal Ballet’s youngest ever principal. At the peak of his success, aged 21, he walked away, driven to the brink of self-destruction by stardom – his talent more a burden than a gift.

Here is an unprecedented look into the life of a complex young man who has made ballet go viral. Urban rebel, iconoclast, airborne angel, Sergei is transforming the shape of ballet as we know it.

But virtuosity comes with a high price.

How can you be free to be yourself when you are ballet’s “hottest property”?

Thu 23 Nov, 7.30pm Running time: 85 mins This documentary follows Sylvie Guillem, the world’s best-loved and most camera-shy prima ballerina, at a crucial moment in her glittering career. Two years in the making and exploring her past as the youngest ever étoile in the Paris Opera Ballet, her time as the star of the Royal Ballet and her present as the darling of contemporary dance, this is an illuminating look at a true icon.

Filmed during her groundbreaking collaboration, Eonnagata, with world-famous theatre maker Robert Lepage, celebrated choreographer Russell Maliphant and the late Alexander McQueen, it shows her desire to constantly challenge and surpass herself and the phenomenon of her stardom.

Making drawings and paintings while Mischief Company developed RED (see p. 8), with its strongly implied narrative, led to a series of more illustrative work. The artwork shown here includes motifs from the moment and also developed still images that communicate character and scene-setting in a more direct way.

Fran's work is based on the human condition as she is fascinated by the individual and its relationship with the landscape and society.

She seeks to find connections that expose the true emotional content of a person at a moment in time.

Denise's second residency, working with the poetic and poetically-inspired production At The End We Begin by Richard Chappell Dance Company, resulted in a series of monoprints.

These images were dynamically composed on the printing press bed and made in the moment, in the spirit of the original drawings.

26

The work in this exhibition is based on two residencies at Pavilion Dance, working with two choreographers and their dancers in rehearsal.

The initial drawings were a response to the psychological and emotional content of the work, which were then developed into two- and threedimensional pieces. The process of making using a range of materials unravels what Fran imagines to be the essence of the performers’ stories.
