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

Two Room Apartment brings Sheinfeld & Laor to the stage for a duet that reflects on their relationship as partners in life and as creators. Both personal and political, the work examines boundaries in various contexts: physical borders such as between territories or between two rooms, but also non-physical borders, such as the one between life and performance, and the boundaries that the individual sets for himself. The work uses a simple dance language and a minimalist aesthetic, and explores the notion of life as a framework in which a precise, almost compulsive repetition of customs and behaviours takes place.
