Midwinter Magic Dance-Circus Spectacular (13 - 17 Decem- ber) is promising to take audiences on an intriguing journey through the contemporary gardens of Shakespeare’s New Place - the site of the playwright’s family home - which opened as a visitor attraction last year. Performers from local company Motionhouse will present a series of dance performances and acrobatics inspired by the timeless themes of Shakespeare’s work. Commenting on the event, the venue’s manager, Chloe Mal- endewicz, said: “We’re excited to be working with Motion- house to put on this visual and physical spectacle for visitors to enjoy this festive season. We wanted to use the event to open up a different perspective to Shakespeare, and show how his themes can be explored in a contempo- rary and creative way. “We can’t wait to see what magical acrobatic performances the dancers have in store for us!” For more information about the event, visit shakespeare.org.uk/events.

    Carl Alan Awards 2010 The Oscars of the World of Dance The Carl-Alan Awards were first introduced in 1953 by Eric Morley and were named after the joint Chairmen of Mecca Carl Heimann and Alan Fairley. The International Dance Teachers' Association was proud to present the 2010 Carl Alan Awards on Sunday 7th February, in conjunction with the IDTA President’s Dinner and Dance. The IDTA were pleased that all three sections of the awards were presented: Freestyle Theatre Ballroom, Latin & Sequence There are five categories of awards in each section. Performer's Award Teacher's Award Competitive Coach/Choreography Award Outstanding Services to Dance Award Lifetime Achievement Award All recognised dance associations or societies were invited to make nominations in all categories and each member body of the British Dance Council or Theatre Dance Council International was invited to send a delegate to represent them on each of the selection committees. The IDTA remained independent in the selection process. From the many nominations received, the selection committees were asked to short-list up to three nominees in each category. To be nominated for a Carl Alan Award by your peers reflects the nominee's considerable contribution to the world of dance. IDTA would like to congratulate all the nominees; unfortunately there can only be one winner in each category. The IDTA would like to thank Mr Sam Kane and Miss Linda Lusardi for hosting the evening and presenting the Carl Alan Awards. ~~~o0o~~~ Performer's Award From the many nominations received, the selection committee short-listed the following nominees: Freestyle Performer's Award Arron Fowler Eilidh McCall Joanne McPhee Winner: Joanne McPhee Joanne has been involved in competitive dancing since the age of 10.
