9 September – 8 December 2017 PROFESSIONAL DANCE classes residencies workshops dancebase.co.uk WELCOME Autumn Term 2017 Welcome to our always surprising and inspiring professional programme – full of newly embodied ideas and opportunities for the dancers and makers of the nation. This term we have a true legend coming to visit and personally the first and so possibly the most influential guru of mine: The great Lindsay Kemp will be in the house in October. Lindsay was mentor to many including Kate Bush and David Bowie – the latter even came to stay at the mad and glorious basement flat in Drummond Street here in Edinburgh whilst writing his album Hunky Dory. I was scullery maid and gin pourer but also a devoted student of Lindsay’s. His shows were like something from another fabulous, glittering, over-made-up planet. A planet I’ve been visiting regularly ever since! As well as this amazing news, we will be welcoming our new DEBS (graduate dancers) who will be mentored by Al Seed, one of our great Scottish artists of physical theatre. Add to this up to two free classes a week for professionals and countless residency showings on Fridays, and it all starts to add up to a pretty awesome Autumn. As always, I’ll remind you that our Friday afternoon showings by companies in residence are open to all and free to attend. I hope to see you there, as well as |at the Lindsay Kemp-led autumn showcase and our Youth Dance showcase at the Traverse in November.
