Company of Angels are proud to announce this new award created in association with Sadler’s Wells and The Place: London Contemporary Dance School.
It aims to support the exploration of new dance and movement- led work for young audiences aged 8 to 11.
This new award provides experienced, professional choreographers with the chance to work alongside a dramaturg, designer, lighting designer and composer to create a high quality work for young audiences supported by established producers.
A co-production with Sadler's Wells, London Contemporary Dance School & The Place embark. The project links contemporary choreographers and dramaturges with graduating year students from London Contemporary Dance School.
The winning choreographers, Zoi Dimitriou and Robin Dingemans, will work with dramaturges Jenny Worton and Ruth Little. The role of the dramaturge is an exciting and reasonably new one for dance in the UK and this partnership is a key component. The process will create bespoke pieces for the target audience age – innovative, playful, challenging and eloquent.
Performances:
Robin Howard Dance Theatre on 23 Feb 2011
Lilian Baylis Studio on 25 Feb 2011
Background:
The CfC Award builds on Company of Angels’ previous work teaming emerging writers and directors to create new plays for young audiences performed by graduating students form Drama Centre, London.
After seeing this programme in action Sadler’s Wells Producer, Emma Gladstone, approached Company of Angels Chief Executive, Teresa Ariosto, about the possibilities of developing a similar scheme for dance. The role of the dramaturge is an exciting and reasonably new one for dance in the UK, and both parties felt the involvement of a dramaturg to work with would be a key attraction for any creator interested in making eloquent work.
London Contemporary Dance School has recently developed further links with Sadler’s Wells and, as a result, seemed the natural partner to approach to start to realise this ground breaking project.
