| | Jazz meets classical dance, hip hop and street dance in Mission 2003. |
| | | The dance company State Of Emergency come to The Courtyard Centre For The Arts in Hereford on Tuesday 20th ofMay with their new show The Mission 2003.
It's an ambitious project, aiming for a fusion of movement that captures all the freshness and daring of black dance.
The dancers will hope to bring to life everything from the subtle moods of an island to the complexities of human relationships.
The production showcases new highly individual and insightful interpretations of dance from five leading young black choreographers.
Each piece is a fusion of styles - from the sophisticated contemporary grooves of classical dance and jazz to the urban beats of hip-hop and street dance - with spoken word, satire and humour thrown in for good measure.
The music is specially arranged and created for the show. The lyrical beats and harmonic grooves are derived from diverse sources – from Japanese guitar music and Zimbabwean Kandindo music to modern hip-hop and scratching.
Local youngsters who attended State Of Emergency’s Roadshow during the February half term holiday will also be performing on the night. | | | |
