LET’S DANCE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Welcome to Let’s Dance International Festival (LDIF) 2014! LDIF returns for its fourth year bringing an exciting programme of international dance to Leicester. This year’s programme reflects on the Creolization of dance, with artists from Suriname, Jamaica, Argentina, USA, Italy, Guadeloupe and across the UK bringing their unique fusions of traditional and contemporary dance styles, which resonates with the cosmopolitan nature of the city and celebrates diversity in its broadest sense.

LDIF brings some of the best international acts to Leicester, including FuturPointe Dance from New York who are making their UK debut with their own distinctive blend of ballet, Latin movement and dance from the African and Caribbean diaspora. We have a thought provoking performance from father and son; Giulio and Stefano D’Anna who touch on the diagnosis of degenerative illness, while exploring the differences between their generations in Parkin’son.

Dance in Three Acts is a combination of three inspirational performances that are brought together for a special evening of dance. L’Acadco returns to LDIF with an energising new duet choreographed by L’Antoinette Stines inspired by Kamau Brathwaite’s poem “It is not enough”. Freddie Opoku-Addaie makes his LDIF debut in a quirky performance featuring sculpted wooden hands. Finally, we have the enchanting Silent Aria; an exciting new collaboration between innovative choreographer Henri Oguike and established composer Philip Herbert.

Dance on Film encompasses a selection of dance from the silver screen. This LDIF festival we are showcasing more emerging artists than ever before, with an entire evening dedicated to showcasing a series of films from up and coming filmmakers and artists in Dance for Camera.

In association with regional dance agency Dance4 and Embrace Arts, Signatures, emerging artists take centre stage in an integrated showcase of new work. After a successful introduction in 2013, Autograph will return for a second year, to share the experiences and the fully developed work of previous participants of Signatures.

The annual LDIF symposium is in partnership with Modern Moves and King’s College, London. Creolizing Dance in a Global Age will reflect on the diverse collaborations and affiliations that are embodied within the dynamics of dance, from a Caribbean perspective.

The festival’s finale is Sana Budaya Dance Company. Travelling all the way from Suriname in South America to bring their unique blend of different dance backgrounds inspired by the diverse cultural heritage the country holds.

LDIF brings a full programme of fun and international performances, insightful master classes and energetic dance films to Leicester. This year launch on 29 April with an urban carnival atmosphere, so Let’s Dance!

LDIF 2014 LaunchTue 29 Apr, 6pm Athena, £3/£5

Let’s Dance International Festival 2014 kicks off with a collaboration of artists.

Hypnotick and Mahogany combine forces for Possession: Affilia’s Return, blending the best in acrobatic street dance with carnival costume and puppet creations. A story of temptation, deception and power; three friends share the desire to become the greatest dancers. They meet a mystical old man and the giant Affilia, who are able to give the friends everything they have ever wanted, but, at a price.

Multi-talented singer/songwriter, rapper, multi-instrumentalist and record producer, Angel, is possibly the UK’s Pop and R&B industry’s best kept secret. The writing force behind songs for many artists, including Cheryl Cole, JLS, Roll Deep, Devlin, Wretch 32, Wiley, and his own chart topping track “Wonderful”, Angel comes to Leicester for an exciting live performance.

Book Launch: The Illicit Worlds of Indian Dance by Anna MorcomThu 8 May, 5.15pm Guildhall, Free

Anna Morcom, Royal Holloway, University of London, comes to Let’s Dance International Festival to talk about her new publication The Illicit Worlds of Indian Dance. Until the 1930s no woman could perform in public and retain respectability in India, but the latter part of the twentieth century has seen classical performing arts became appreciated by a wide range of audiences. Through in-depth interviews and archival research, Anna Morcom tells the story of India’s female, transgender and cross-dressed dancers and performers, and explores the forces that have shaped Indian performing arts over the last century.

Master Class: Lee PayneFriday 9 May, 11am Studio 79, £8/£10

A unique opportunity to meet and work with revered tap dancer Lee Payne. With credits including Riverdance, Top Of The Pops and Got To Dance, Lee has been a part of the LDIF programme for the past two years, with Ballare: To Dance (2012) and Tap and Tabla (2013) and inspired many to get their tap shoes on.

ATMA Dance presents ‘Erhebung’Fri 9 May, 2pm / 4pm / 6pm Museum Square (next to New Walk Museum and Art Gallery), Free

New classical Indian dance meets abstract sculpture in Erhebung, a collaboration between choreographer Mayuri Boonham and the sculptor Jeff Lowe. Boonham’s increasing abstraction of the dancers’ figures creates an expressive boundary with Lowe’s striking sculpture – a place where form and abstraction merge. The dance is performed within a sculptural landscape that integrates choreography in its design. A key inspiration for the work is Burnt Norton, a poem from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. The title, Erhebung, is a German word mentioned in the poem, meaning rising or elevation.

5Unlocking Creativity Shorts3Sat 10 May, 5.30pm Curve RR2, £10

Kadam/Pulse present Unlocking Creativity Shorts3, a platform for cutting-edge South Asian dance. The work emerging from the selected artists is fresh, thoughtful and heart-warming. Four artists present four striking solos with guest artist Sooraj Subramaniam in Tightrope Walker. Sooraj is one of the most sought-after dancers on the South Asian classical and contemporary dance circuits (credits include Nina Rajarani Dance Creations, Balbir Singh Dance Company and Shobana Jeyasingh Dance). Tightrope Walker choreographed by Kalpana Raghuraman, is a thirty minute piece of intense soul-searching on what it means to grow up in a culture of shame and finger-pointing. The self-examination delivered by powerful physicality and tender detail resolves in surprising revelations.

8I’mpossible – Studio 79Impossible is not a fact, it’s an opinion. Impossible is potential. Is it the truth or an illusion? A piece focusing on eliminating the limitations of live dance through the use of mirrors challenging what is visible to human eye.

Where Did It Go? – Ellen BoothPlaying with timing, phrasing and rhythm through an intimate relationship with the music, DMU Dance student Ellen Booth draws on somatic practices to negotiate a balance between focusing attention on internal and external experiences in the moment of performing.

One Man Show – Chris WaldockPerformed with the upbeat score of an indie string band, DMU Dance student Chris Waldock’s solo evokes ideas of a travelling show whilst playing on certain showman stereotypes such as the magician, the mime artist, the gymnast and, of course, the welcoming ringmaster.

Onesquaremeter – Avatâra AyusoA contemporary dance duet inspired by the geographic coordinates of London city. The dancers are spatially bound on stage, echoing the place where there is room for chaos, calmness, but also for the unexpected.

Violence of discovery, Calm of acceptance – Cultural Device Dance ProjectAn innovative and experimental dance company for professional dancers with Down’s Syndrome. Cultural Device Dance Project use improvisational techniques and experimental electronic sounds to push the boundaries of choreography.

Dance In Three ActsWed 14 – Thu 15 May, 7.45pm Curve (Studio), £15

Three inspirational performances are brought together for an evening of dance.

L’Acadco returns to Let’s Dance International Festival with an energising new duet choreographed by L’Antoinette Stines. Inspired by Kamau Brathwaite’s poem Negus and the refrain “It is not enough” this emotive work reflects on the creole heritage of the Caribbean and explores what it means to be free.

In his witty and personal new solo Show of Hands, Freddie Opoku-Addaie, addresses preconceptions, and challenges what it means to be part of a contemporary urban generation. Set amidst 25 sculpted wooden hands, Freddie explores the unspoken, equivocating truths of the society we live in, with this humorous and slightly surreal work.

Inspired by the hidden dance world of the African Diaspora, Silent Aria is a new collaboration between critically acclaimed choreographer Henri Oguike, established composer Philip Herbert and dancers Noora Kela and Tara Lopez. Featuring an uplifting musical score and theatrical choreography, the artists’ own stories are embodied in this invigorating dance.

In Conversation: ‘A Life in Four Acts’ with Graciela KaplanMon 19 May, 7pm City Rooms, £6/£8

Ex-Principal Ballerina, Graciela – Kaplan tells the story of her life as a dancer from early experiences at ballet school in provincial Argentina via an international dancing career to becoming Principal Dancer in one of the UK’s major ballet companies, Northern Ballet Theatre. She tells the intimate life of being a dancer; the travelling, costume malfunction, the highs of success and coping with the trauma of injury and deals with the dancer’s problems of life post dance. This is a warm, life affirmation of determination, dedication and success but laced with humour and down to earth anecdote. The angst of “Black Swan” the movie, it is not……

Parkin’sonSat 17 May, 7.30pm Embrace Arts, £10

Parkin’Son is an intrepid performance by choreographer Giulio D’Anna and his father Stefano D’Anna. With uplifting honesty and humour, father and son explore the differences between their generations.

• Whatcultureshavecometogether under ‘Creolization’?

• WhyisCreolizationrelevanttoday?

• Howdoesitimpactgloballyondanceand the creative world?

• Whatcandanceteachusabout the artistic and political potential of Creolization?

Mad Hot Ballroom13 May, 6pm Phoenix Cinema, £5

Dir: Marilyn Argrelo, 106 mins, 2005, USA

Based on a feature article written by Sewell, Mad Hot Ballroom looks inside the lives of New York City school kids who journey into the world of ballroom dancing. The film chronicles the experiences of students at three schools in the neighbourhoods of Tribeca, Bensonhurst and Washington Heights. The students are united by an interest in the ballroom dancing lessons, which builds over a 10-week period and culminates in a competition to find the school that has produced the best dancers in the city. As the teachers cajole their students to learn the intricacies of the various disciplines, Agrelo intersperses classroom footage with the students’ musings on life; many revealing underlying maturity and wisdom.

Only When I DanceSun 18 May, 2pm Phoenix Cinema, £5

Dir: Beadie Finzi, 78 mins, 2009, UK, PG

Only When I Dance is a documentary following the story of two Black teenagers, Irlan and Isabela, from the Favela in Brazil, and their attempts to pursue careers as ballet dancers. Faced with prejudice and doubt, the young dancers prepare to grasp at what may well be their only opportunity to follow their dreams and gain a place at an international ballet school.

First PositionTue 20 May, 7pmPhoenix Cinema, £5

Dir: Bess Kargman, 90mins, 2011, USA
