LEMON TREE STUDIO
GOD (Grumpy Old Dancers)
Choreographed and performed by Alan Greig & Andy Howitt.
These two wildly funny, contrasting choreographers have wanted to dance this duet together for the past 25 years. They are now old and grumpy enough to do it. Watch out. It’s going to be wild, vocal, crazy and grumpy (sometimes all four at once). It will cover weather, family, death, hair loss, love and YOU. “I don’t have hair loss, it’s just migrated”.
Choreographed by Katie Milroy.
Performed by Lynn Brown, Michaela Gebremedhin Wate, Bethany Howitt, Sara Kelly. Jessica Lee, Joel Wilson.
This piece explores what happens when you allow the material to be dictated by a distinct set of rules, and movement is inspired from a unique sequence of dots and dashes.
Degrees of Freedom
Choreographer: Hayley Durward. Performer: Tom Pritchard.
Degrees of Freedom is a way of keeping score; a way of seeing how far you’ve gone from a specific point. Of course it’s numerical in distance and time, but as humans we often measure it in emotion. Especially when that point…is a moment you wish to forget.
Divine Influence
In 2005 Angela Towler and Martin Joyce collaborated as TowlerJoyce to create Divine Influence, a fast moving, passionate duet bristling with comic tension and moments of intense tenderness. The piece was first performed at The Place for Rambert Workshops and subsequently taken into Rambert Dance Company’s repertoire, where Angela is a dancer and assistant rehearsal director. This performance was filmed live at Sadler’s Wells, May 2006.
Quartet
Performed by Aberdeen Dance Collective: Lynn Brown, Hayley Durward, Jessica Lee and
Katie Milroy; Music by Tiago Cerqueira.
This new work by Errol White in collaboration with Aberdeen Dance Collective focuses on individual identity to create a powerful and dynamic ensemble-piece. Throughout the choreographic process, Errol employed a variety of disciplines including technique class, improvisation, contact and body-awareness work, to assist the dancers’ development of unique and individual movement vocabularies. His aim was to lead the dancers toward a fluidity of movement that combined precision, power and strength, and to facilitate a neutral and controlled understanding of the body’s physicality in performance.
Michael Clark’s Heroes
A film by Michael Prince for BBC’s Artworks Scotland.
The one-time bad boy of British ballet Michael Clark returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2009 for the first time in over twenty years with Come, Been and Gone in which he danced to the music of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. This film follows him during the rehearsals and his trip to Venice where he pays homage to two of his other heroes - Igor Stravinksy and Sergei Diaghilev.
