Description
Can I have your best move? (15 min)
Choreography and Performance by Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín
In early 2022, dance artist Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín realised she wasn’t quite sure why she was dancing anymore. Her twenty-year relationship with dance had begun to stagnate and it was time to do something about it...
In ‘Can I have your best move?’ Siobhán details the process of inviting people, from all walks of life, to dance with her and to chat with her about their relationship with dance. In text, movement and visual projection, this solo presents a live archive of moments collected from these encounters. Ultimately, ‘Can I have your best move?’ Is an effort to re-ignite a dancing spirit in the company of others.
Roshni (30 min)
Performance by Sonia Sabri, Sarvar Sabri, Sam Slater and Emily Dore.
Roshni (from the Persian word meaning light or brilliance) is an intimate crafting of dance and live music which explores the highs and lows of life today. The audience are taken on an emotional journey, through wordless storytelling, eclectic music, percussive dance and upbeat audience interaction.
Just as improvisation is the heartbeat of jazz, improvisation is considered a core part of a solo Kathak dance performance – consequently no performance of Roshni is the same! It is the perfect first introduction to those who have never experienced South Asian dance and something quite different for connoisseurs. Roshni is both deeply moving and gloriously entertaining.
Briste (10 min)
Briste is an excerpt from Stephanie Keane's ongoing sound and movement explorative project called Èist (listen). Briste tells the story of a traditional Irish dancer, searching for new ways to dance, move and make sounds with the dancing body. This piece explores themes of identity, reclamation and pushing boundaries.
Nabinam (30 min)
Choreography and performance by Twenty23 artist Jean-Baptiste Baele.
Nabinam is an auto-biographical work in which Jean-Baptiste talks about his adoption story. Adopted from Madagascar, he has encountered many different challenges: growing up with older peers due to age discrepancies on his documents, being constantly compared to his family because of skin colour differences and a hidden bond with a twin he never had the opportunity to grow up with.
Nabinam takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotions in its unpredictable change of pace.
