Canolfan UCHELDRE Centre

A brand new double bill from FFIN DANCE for 2012.
“Athletic, contemporary dance” Resolution!

New Work
Choreography: Gary Lambert

Informed by experiences drawn from an extensive performance background Lambert’s focus and interest is working through the body, where the devised movement becomes an expressive and physical landscape. It initiates from an interest in the manipulation and physical articulation of the body, as a reactive response to the images, sound score and environment.

Movement is the starting point of exploration and space is explored as a laboratory to frame movement. Gary’s appetite for movement has resulted in an eclectic style with an emphasis on physical aesthetics.
Through the interaction of the creative process with FFIN dancers, Gary has made a pure, non-narrative work that is highly unique and reflects his love for athletic physicality.

Five Dances
Choreography: Sue Lewis
Music: Jenny Jackson, played live by Platform 4
Design: Steve Denton

Sheffield based composer Jenny Jackson and Welsh choreographer Sue Lewis team up to produce a dazzling piece of theatre in Five Dances. A specially commissioned score, three dancers and some swish costumes by Steve Denton, make for a great piece of entertainment.

Five Dances follows Jackson’s score closely in texture, rhythm and structure. Ffin Dance will be choreographing a brand new piece of work for the dancers of the Barton Dance and Drama Academy, which will be performed this evening.

Artistic Director Sue Lewis and composer Jenny Jackson will be giving a pre-performance talk at 7 pm on the subject of composing music for choreography.
