  • Transitions Dance Company
    PRESS RELEASE Send date Transitions Dance Company: Triple Bill Trinity Laban’s leading student training company showcases dancers in three brand new works from established choreographers Choreographed by Dog Kennel Hill Project, Theo Clinkard and Ederson Rodrigues Xavier UK Tour 19 February – 27 May “Performances by this enterprising company are always an eye-opener.” (Guardian Guide) Transitions Dance Company’s triple bill showcases the next generation of contemporary dance performers from Trinity Laban with twelve MA students performing three brand new pieces from choreographers Dog Kennel Hill Project, Theo Clinkard and Ederson Rodrigues Xavier. Since it was founded in 1982 by original Martha Graham Dance Company member Bonnie Bird, this pioneering company has aimed to bridge the gap between training and a professional performance career for graduate dancers. Transitions Dance Company aims to allow company members to gain practical experience of life in a touring dance company whilst simultaneously completing their MA Dance Performance. Past alumni of the company include distinguished artists such as Sir Matthew Bourne (New Adventures), Luca Silvestrini (Luca Silvestrini’s Protein), and Emma Gladstone (Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Dance Umbrella). Fieldwork from performance and research collective Dog Kennel Hill Project explores how, as a newly formed company, the dancers locate themselves now and in relation to their past. Through a deconstructed series of arrivals and departures and a language of stumbles, false starts, surges and going round in circles, Fieldwork asks “when do we truly arrive anywhere?” my dance, your touch draws upon research that outlines how physical touch affects our behavioural, cultural, emotional and biological development.

  • The Dance Scene and the Processes of the Aesthetic Transgression of the Body
    Tadeusz Kobierzycki Institute and Laboratory of Ego-Analysis “Askeion”, Warsaw Poland THE DANCE SCENE AND THE PROCESSES OF THE AESTHETIC TRANSGRESSION OF THE BODY INTRODUCTION The Greek concept of the “zoon politikon” man (see Aristotle, 384–322 BC) assumes a celebration of the body, understood as one of the gather- ings of life energy in the cosmos (energeia bios), which can be found in rocks, plants, animals and man. This message has been strengthened and realised by the Greeks in the whole educational, military and religious system. This was true for at least 10 centuries. This was questioned with the appearance of the Christian ethics. For the next 15 centuries bodily energy was reduced to exertion and hardship, life and work, which was used by man to redeem his visual sin, linked to the discovery of his bodily nudity. The human body is excluded from the positive perception of the world, from the erotic and aesthetic, for negative ethics and erotic of sin which takes its energy from the mind devoid of the body. From a bodily man a substantially understood person is extracted (Ani- cius, M. S. Boecsjus from Dacia, about 480–524), decorated with the mind, metaphysical non-body substance. Now the mind becomes the metaphysical form and the substitute body of man. Its mindfulness takes the functions of the body and reduces or annihilates it. The human as a “person” becomes a being which can cope without a physical body which is now substituted with the spiritual body. Substantialisation and sacralisation of the mind and de-substantialisation and desacralization of the body has been alleviated by Descartes (1586– 1650) who compared them with the mind (thinking) substance giving it back the equivalent position in the extended sphere, equal to the position of the mind located in the non-extended sphere (see res cogitans and res extensa).

  • A Study on the Gender Imbalance Among Professional Choreographers Working in the Fields of Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance
    Where are the female choreographers? A study on the gender imbalance among professional choreographers working in the fields of classical ballet and contemporary dance. Jessica Teague August 2016 This Dissertation is submitted to City University as part of the requirements for the award of MA Culture, Policy and Management 1 Abstract The dissertation investigates the lack of women working as professional choreographers in both the UK and the wider international dance sector. Although dance as an art form within western cultures is often perceived as ‘the art of women,’ it is predominately men who are conceptualising the works and choreographing the movement. This study focuses on understanding the phenomenon that leads female choreographers to be less likely to produce works for leading dance companies and venues than their male counterparts. The research investigates the current scope of the gender imbalance in the professional choreographic field, the reasons for the imbalance and provides theories as to why the imbalance is more pronounced in the classical ballet sector compared to the contemporary dance field. The research draws together experiences and statistical evidence from two significant branches of the artistic process; the choreographers involved in creating dance and the Gatekeepers and organisations that commission them. Key issues surrounding the problem are identified and assessed through qualitative data drawn from interviews with nine professional female choreographers. A statistical analysis of the repertoire choices of 32 leading international dance companies quantifies and compares the severity of the gender imbalance at the highest professional level. The data indicates that the scope of the phenomenon affects not only the UK but also the majority of the Western world.

The superstars Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev danced it with us in 1964, in a production based on the Borovansky Ballet’s. Our founding artistic director, Peggy van Praagh, created her production in 1965; it premiered in Birmingham on the company’s first international tour, and won a Grand Prix for the best production staged in Paris that year. It went on to become one of the most frequently performed ballets in our repertoire. Peggy’s production came to a tragic end when the scenery was consumed by fire on our 1985 regional tour. The artistic director at the time, Maina Gielgud, created her own production a year later.
