Torinodanza Festival is the most important Italian contemporary dance event. Based on its belief that dance is one of the most advanced languages of today’s performing arts, Torinodanza aims to showcase artists who, through their choreography, express an ever-new and ever-evolving quest for expression.
Dance Umbrella, London’s annual international contemporary dance festival, has announced the full programme for 2022, an international hybrid festival of live performances and digital explorations, taking place 7 – 23 October.
Amala Dianor's new creation brings together a constellation of talents from Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso to celebrate the vitality of a collective African dance – a connection in perpetual evolution, an artistic bubbling that animates the whole continent.
Amala Dianor himself performs this piece, a dialogue between his varied origins, from urban to contemporary and African dance.
City Horses is a city choreography with about twenty female dancers about power, existence and the female body in the public space, a gallop through cities, a living monument in constant motion, celebrating female courage and power of all ages.
If Wo-Man is the female rendering of Man Rec, the solo piece that brought Dianor to the attention of the French scene, Point Zéro is instead an invitation from three friends to dance while rediscovering the journey that each has travelled through the diverse aesthetics that have shaped their artistic narratives.
Is this the future? What have we done? And where the hell are we going? With music by Rachmaninoff and Jamie xx, the rising star of the dance world presents a world premiere, brutal as well as beautiful.
