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.
