There are a handful of dance events over the summer/autumn period at Warwick Arts Centre:
- 27 May – Dance in a Day
- 16-17 July – West Midlands Youth Ballet
- 2-3 Oct – Scattered
- 11 Oct – Tango Fire
Dance in a Day “will be a day of hard work and challenges as you start from scratch to make a piece of work that your friends and family will come to see in the evening”. Highly Sprung are leading that one.
The West Midlands Youth Ballet show will feature works from choreographers such as Beatty, Graham and Bournonville.
Scattered is the working title of a piece by Motionhouse that has been commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre. On 2 Oct the show will be followed by a talk.
Tango Fire promises “tango at its fiery best” featuring “ten sensational dancers, one of Argentina’s finest singers and a quartet of brilliant young musicians, Quatrotango“. You can read more on the Tango Fire website.
Also, well worthy of a mention is the Stan’s Cafe production ‘Spy Steps‘. It’s not strictly a dance piece but it was inspired by those teach-yourself-to-dance floor mats and looks well worth a look.
