It has been a busy and fruitful autumn for Pavilion

Dance South West (PDSW), as we launched our

new name, brand and website. Thank you to

everyone who has accompanied us on this journey

and a warm welcome to all those just joining us.

Our autumn season was packed full of

performances, screenings and opportunities to take

part. We are especially proud of the success story

of Dracula by Mark Bruce, a Dream Artist at PDSW.

Dracula, which has received rave reviews in the

national press, has been hailed as “the best work of

his career”. It was also very exciting to work towards

the launch of “DanceTag”, our very own new dance

game app for smartphone users – a great way to

connect people through dance (p. 31).

This spring we continue our “Thursday Night is

Dance Night” programme (p. 5–13) with a new line-

up of exciting dance and movement performances

by a variety of artists, among them another one of

our Dream Artists, Karla Shacklock Company (p. 9).

Don’t forget that we are still running our fantastic

“Golden Ticket” offer: For only £50 you can see all

eight performances for an individual ticket price

of just £6.25 – where else can you see such a

wonderful selection of dance for such a great price?

In our “PDSW Cinema” programme (p. 20–21) we

continue to show a mixture of award-winning new

releases and some much-loved classics, all with

a link to our on-stage programme. We are also

delighted to present three more “Bolshoi Live”

ballet satellite screenings (p. 18–19), including

Balanchine’s masterpiece, Jewels.

We will also be hosts to the “Black Dance Archives”

touring exhibition and are proud to be their only

stopover in the South West (p. 27).

All this and so much more! We offer opportunities

for professional development in Bournemouth and

across the region (p. 22, 28–29), a careers platform

for years 10 to 13 (p. 24), two youth dance platforms

(p. 23), and we will be running a day of workshops and

events on “World Parkinson’s Day” on 12 April (p. 30).

Of course we also continue our tried and tested

programme of 40 regular dance and movement

classes (p. 25), and continue to develop our two

performance companies, Coevo and 2BU (p. 26).

So, let us put a spring in your step this season!

Deryck and the whole PDSW team

“Thursday Night is Dance Night” is the title of our regular live performance programme.

On eight nights between 6 February and 27 March we present work that we think has

the potential to entertain, excite, move and occasionally challenge you. We want to share

this work with you because we believe in it, and because we want to bring talented artists

with exciting, creative and fresh approaches to dance and movement to Bournemouth.

We invite you to tell us what you think – and maybe to challenge us back! – in our regular

post-show chats with the artists. But if you don’t feel like talking, it’s also fine just to listen

to the conversation. In any case it’s a chance to have a drink with the very same people you have just seen

performing their hearts out on stage.

Spread the word and join the conversation:

*On the day, on the door, from 7.15pm. Only available for “Thursday Night” performances and subject to availability. Please show a valid NUS card or other student ID.

**Groups of 5+: £8 per ticket / groups of 15+: £5 per ticket (and the 16th ticket is free!) ***Our season ticket – gets you into all eight “Thursday Night” performances for only £6.25 per show. Golden Tickets can only be purchased until and including the first performance on 6 February

PERFORMANCE SEASON

THURSDAY NIGHT IS DANCE NIGHT

THE ENGLISH CHANNELBY LIZ AGGISS

THU FEB 06

7.30pm

Tickets: £5/£8/£10/£50

(Details page 5)

After 60 years, Liz Aggiss finally gives herself

permission to do what she damn well pleases.

Better late than never! She’s reached an age

where doing the right thing is optional. Should

she please you, or should she please herself?

The English Channel is the story of a career

forged in the heady waters of performance

art and dance film. It vividly depicts Liz Aggiss

resuscitating herself back into the on-stage

limelight. In the process, she becomes an

unwitting channel for wilful women and

forgotten archives; a conduit for hidden

histories and buried truths. She is your

cunning connection to “the other side”; a witty

commentator on life and death; on the pain,

pleasure and paradox of the stage. The show

is framed by contemporary and archive film.

The specially composed music score includes

some knock-out musical numbers.

A maverick and anarchic artist, Liz Aggiss

has been a Guerrilla Dancer, Diva, Wild

Wiggler, Grotesque Dancer, Trout, Martyr

and a Professor. She has for the past 35 years

been redefining her own brand of British

contemporary dance.

To say that Liz is unafraid would be an understatement.

OURS WAS THE FEN COUNTRY

BY STILL HOUSE CREATED BY DAN CANHAM AND THE COMPANY

THU FEB 137.30pm

Tickets: £5/£8/£10/£50 (Details page 5)

For two years Dan Canham went on a process of capturing conversations

with the people of the Fens – a beautiful, bleak and mysterious expanse

of flat land in East Anglia. Eel-catchers, horse breeders, museum

keepers and young farmers were all interviewed.

Ours Was The Fen Country fuses movement and sound

with their words and memories to get to the heart of

the land. It is a celebration of rural communities

that are fading from view; a poetic look at

the inevitability of change, told in the

voices of those who still know the

old words.

Dan Canham is a dancer

and choreographer and

Artistic Director of Still

House, a company who

create visually poetic work

within a variety of forms,

including dance theatre,

short film and audio-

visual installation.

Last February,

he brought his

first work, 30 Cecil Street, to

Bournemouth. It fills you up with a sense of

lightness and freedom, whether you are from the fens or not. Cambridge News

RUNNING ON EMPTY BY PROBE

Running On Empty is the story of man, woman

and their repeated collision over time, travelling

through dreams, fears and memory.

Absurd and sometimes devastating, Running On Empty moves between the epic and the intimate,

exploring our resilience to loss, our struggle for

a future and the emptiness we overcome to

survive. It has been created by a team of creative

collaborators, including director Jo McInnes

(Royal Court), writer Brad Birch

(Soho Theatre, Royal Court),

choreographer Charlie Morrissey

(Siobhan Davies) and songwriter

Lee Ross.

Based in Brighton, Probe was

founded in 2004 and Artistic Director Antonia

Grove has since worked with a range of cross art-

form collaborators to create five full length works.

At the heart of Probe’s work lies collaboration and

the use of dance, text and song to find new and

interesting ways to tell stories.

THE CRUTCH AND THE BUTTERCUP

DANCE DOUBLE BILL BY KARLA SHACKLOCK COMPANY

Raw, charged and universally resonant,

The Buttercup is a simple yet powerful

story about hope – expressed through

the body and a series of everyday,

continuously transforming, objects. Using

live music and set against a constantly

shifting visual landscape, Karla

bravely bares her soul in this physical

and evocative performance.

The Crutch depicts a highly intense relationship that

swings from violence to breathtaking tenderness. Set to

a pounding live score and using a huge pile of crutches,

the duet explores what it means and how it feels to be

there for someone at a time of crisis. The performers decide

the structure of the work live in the moment of performance –

meaning that each performance is completely unique.

Karla Shacklock Company, based in Bristol, are supported

as a “Dream Artist” at Pavilion Dance South West.

The company aim to allow their audience to have

an experience, to feel, to be with them,

rather than just to sit and watch.

CARAMEL BY INSTANT DISSIDENCE

You can watch dance, even hear it,

but have you ever tried to smell it,

to taste it?

Caramel is an edible choreography

that is led by smell and taste

rather than sight and sound.

Intimately close to the performers,

audiences experience the creation

of dance, soundscape and lighting

installations, and engage with the

process of cooking caramel.

Instant Dissidence are a Bradford-

based company whose work

focuses on the body and its physical

and cultural manifestations. Their

choreography may adopt the form

of dance, film, sculpture, immersive

digital work, live art or an

JEWELS CHOREOGRAPHY: GEORGE BALANCHINE MUSIC: GABRIEL FAURÉ, IGOR STRAVINSKY, PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY

Choreographed in 1967 and inspired by the famous jewellers of New

York’s Fifth Avenue, this ballet is a tribute to women, and to the cities

of Paris, New York and St Petersburg. With its jewel-like costumes, it

celebrates the three cities and three dance schools that forged the

elegance, aesthetic and style of choreographer George Balanchine.

‘Emeralds’ was conceived as a poetic tribute to the French romantic school

and ‘Rubies’ to the American tradition of Broadway musicals, while ‘Diamonds’

honours the virtuosity of classical Russian dancers.

LOST ILLUSIONS CHOREOGRAPHY: ALEXEI RATMANSKY

MUSIC: LEONID DESYATNIKOV

THE GOLDEN AGE CHOREOGRAPHY: YURI GRIGOROVICH

MUSIC: DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH

Lucien, a young provincial and budding composer, sets out to conquer

the Parisian scene in search of glory. His success soon blinds him, and he

betrays his friends and his love.

Lost Illusions is a new ballet, created in Moscow in 2011 by Alexei Ratmansky

with dramaturgical advice by French actor, writer and director Guillaume

Gallienne. This stylised adaptation of Honoré de Balzac’s novel

features thwarted love, ambition and disillusionment, with 19th century

Paris as its backdrop.

In 1923, in a seaside town in the south of the Soviet Union,

where trade and the mafia are flourishing, Boris falls in

love with Rita – a cabaret dancer at The Golden

Age, and the girlfriend of the local gangster.

The Golden Age is a refreshing satire, created

for the Bolshoi by Yuri Grigorovich, with jazz

and cabaret musical parodies, frantic pace,

passionate intrigue and a variety of dance styles

from classical to grotesque, folk and acrobatic. In

the midst of this magical whirlwind, Boris and Rita’s

love is drenched in poetic lyricism.

BLACK DANCE ARCHIVES

MON JAN 27WED FEB 19Free

to

We are excited to be the only

venue in the South West to host

the touring exhibition of State

of Emergency’s Black Dance

Archives project this spring.

The Black Dance Archives

project celebrates the

contribution that British Black

dance has made to the UK’s

dance scene and cultural life

and preserves this important

history for future generations.

Apart from the collection of

a physical archive from 29

celebrated individuals and

companies, the project includes

a two-year programme of

dynamic participatory activity

to bring the archive to life, and

a brand-new comprehensive

website to ensure that this

previously hidden treasure trove

of information will be available

for all to experience. learn from

and enjoy.

The project is delivered by State of Emergency with generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

British Black Dance has had a real impact on our country’s cultural heritage over the last 50 years, and this project meets a real need to draw together and preserve collections relating to

this history Nerys Watts, Head of Heritage Lottery Fund South West

EXHIBITION

CHOREOLAB 3IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SOUTH EAST DANCE

The idea of ChoreoLAB was born in 2011 to

offer new British South Asian choreographers

more opportunities to develop work. The first

ChoreoLAB was delivered by South East Dance

in the shape of a week-long residency with studio

space and time for six artists to explore new

choreographic ideas.

Pavilion Dance South West (PDSW) became a

partner for ChoreoLAB 2, which offered time and

space to four British Asian choreographers and

the chance to share their work with an audience

of programmers and venue promoters during the

South Asian Dance Summit in May 2013 at Pavilion

Dance in Bournemouth.

Following on from ChoreoLAB 1 and 2,

ChoreoLAB 3 will provide a tailored programme

of activity and financial support for one, possibly

two artists.

The focus will be

on choreographic

and artistic

development,

with mentors or

creative producers

from South East Dance and PDSW spending

time with the artist in the studio and giving

feedback on process, current work or research. In

addition, it will be discussed how the work might

be taken forward, where possible encouraging

partnerships and relationships in the area where

the artist is based.

Each artist will receive a budget to cover fees,

collaborators and expenses.

If you would like to receive more information

or apply for ChoreoLAB 3, please visit

www.southeastdance.org.uk or contact South

East Dance Programme Coordinator

[email protected].

DANCE DEVELOPMENT

INTEGRATED CHOREOLAB

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SOUTH EAST DANCE AND GDANCE

Pavilion Dance South West, South East Dance

and GDance are also working in partnership to

deliver the first Integrated ChoreoLAB in April

2014, responding to the lack of development and

choreographic opportunities for artists working in

integrated dance.

The LAB is an opportunity for three artists to

experiment with ideas, test possibilities or develop

new work for a week whilst providing a safe space

to debate the needs/wants of the sector. We will

also offer the opportunity for artists to bring in a

collaborator/mentor of their choice to add value

to their creative process. Creative producers from

PDSW and South East Dance will also spend time

in the studio with the artists, giving feedback and

advice on process, current work and research.

Alongside an informal sharing at the end of the

LAB week, the artists will get the opportunity to

present up to 15 minutes of their work as part of

the Integrated Dance Summit (16 and 17 May

2014 at Pavilion Dance) to an invited audience of

venue promoters and programmers from across

the country.

In addition, discussions will take place with the

artists about how they may develop opportunities

for their work to move forwards, where possible

encouraging partnerships and relationships in the

area where each artist is based.

Each artist will receive a budget to cover fees,

collaborators and expenses.

If you would like to receive more information

DANCETAG

DanceTag is a new game, created by Pavilion Dance South West, which anyone with a smartphone can play. You can download the app, tag interesting places by filming yourself dancing there, and then share your film. You can choose to play just for fun or you can challenge others and become dance champion of your favourite place.

DanceTag is a great way to connect more people through dance – both on a pure entertainment level but also offering new ways for those involved in dance to connect and share work or ideas.

For more information, please contact Zannah Doan at [email protected]
