State of Emergency’s Black Choreographers’ Retreat with Bebe Miller high-kicked itself into gear at Dartington last night, and the three performances showed the variety, depth, ambition and scope of contemporary dance. And underlined Dartington’s position as a prime location for national dance.
Sean Graham’s Club Cult-Ure developed from club night observations, Adesola Akinleye’s Trace was based on research into the history of the people of St Albans and Kompany Malkhi’s Body Language was a search for truth in the multi-media age (watch the Kompany Malkhi’s Boxin, above).
State of Emergency has been supporting artists since 1986, and the weekend retreat with Columbus, Ohio-based Bebe Miller (multi-award winner and Professor in Dance at The Ohio Sate University) will include workshops, feedback and performance.
A perfect precursor as we all practise our pliés for Dance ing Devon, which takes place throughout the county during June and July. Visit the Dance in Devon site for more details.
