    CANDOCO MODERN DANCE THEATRE TO GIVE CONCERTS IN YEREVAN

    12:30, 28 March, 2013

    YEREVAN, MARCH 28, ARMENPRESS. Candoco modern dance theatre will
    introduce "Three Acts of Play" performance in the Russian Drama Theatre
    after C. Stanislavsky and "Outside In" movie in participation with
    the dancers of the same theatre. The British Council supports the
    performances. The British Council informed "Armenpress" that Candoco
    is an introductory dance art theatre, where disabled persons are
    included as well.

    One of Candoco's highlights "Three Acts of Play" is the restaging of
    one of Trisha Brown's signature works, which confirmed her as a pioneer
    of contemporary dance. Set to the original upbeat, contagious Laurie
    Anderson score, Set and Reset/Reset with Trisha Brown Dance Company
    is a fluid, joyful work of pure dance. Following his Evening Standard
    Theatre Award for The Most Incredible Thing with the Pet Shop Boys,
    choreographer Javier de Frutos returns to Candoco for the third time
    with a brand new piece, Studies for C. Inspired by the poetic perfumes
    of Tennessee Williams and set to traditional Mexican Ranchera music,
    this duet is a celebration of difference and rebellion: 'I would rather
    die on my feet than live on my knees' (revolutionary Emiliano Zapata).

    Candoco Dance Company was founded in 1991 by Celeste Dandeker and Adam
    Benjamin. The company developed from workshops led by Celeste and
    Adam at the Aspire centre, and grew quickly into the first company
    of its kind in the UK - a professional dance company focused on
    the integration of disabled and non-disabled dancers. The company
    won much acclaim from the press, public and from colleagues in the
    worlds of dance and education and between 1991 and 2005 the company
    toured to over 50 countries, visiting Europe, Australia, North and
    South America, Asia and Africa.

    The extensive Learning and Development projects and activities are of
    equal importance and the company is widely acknowledged as the World's
    leading exponent of inclusive dance practice. The groundbreaking
    approach to teaching dance in inclusive settings resulted in
    unprecedented levels of interest from schools, colleges and the
    wider community during our early years, and led to a proliferation
    of integrated groups across the UK.
