Julie Dossavi and Tippa
One half of the programme is a solo from Benin-born, French-based contemporary dancer Julie Dossavi entitled "Go", reflecting her diverse cultural experiences. Dossavi, who has worked with the J. Francois Duroure Company and Philippe Decoufle, alternately embodies the queen of a techno nightclub and the priestess of a ritual ceremony, with musical accompaniment from DJ Karim. Completing the bill is the wild and irresistibly fun Jamaican dancehall performer Tippa, who is a fixture in his native country enlivening the on-stage action at prominent reggae gigs. His pair of solos for this, his first London appearance, are "100%" and "Full 100", each fusing traditional dancehall with the latest street craze of log-on.
