    MapDance 2015

    2015

    Thu 23 Apr | 7.30pm | Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 16+

    The University of Chichester’s MA performance company, mapdance is an established company of young, dynamic dancers recruited nationally and internationally.

    Performing diverse repertoire by renowned and upcoming contemporary choreographers, this year’s commissions include new works by Jonathan Burrows, Rick Nodine, Lila Dance and Ofra Odel as well as a recreation by Kerry Nicholls.

    The mixed repertory offers a refreshing mixture of dance theatre, intricate and questioning choreography, fast-paced athleticism and wry humour.

    “mapdance is very much one of the leading players in terms of graduate performance of contemporary dance … it transcended what we may perceive to be student dance and held its own in terms of disciplined, focussed and innovative work from a very accomplished young ensemble.”
    Adrian Berry, Director of Jackson’s Lane, London.
