Still I Rise
THU 5 OCT 2017 | Full £10 Conc £6 | 7.30pm | AGE 14 +
Former Cando and Jasmin Vardimon Company dancer Victoria Fox Marciewkz previews her new work Still I Rise. Raw and energetic dance combined with instinctual physicality inspired by the powerful and defiant words of Maya Angelou’s poem of the same name.
Five daring female dancers begin a journey of simmering unison, restless duets and tender solos all performed with a gut-wrenching power. Pounding rhythms drive the movement and create an intense stark world where hope dies last. Falling down, gathering up…we rise.
visceral and fearless, this is uncommonly intelligent work
