Episodes of Blackness
Episodes of Blackness is a powerful evening of dynamic interdisciplinary work inspired by aspects of black culture and heritage. Using dance theatre, music and spoken word, the mixed bill premieres brand new work ‘Word!’, a choreographic response to headlines around youth culture; 'Temps Mort', a fierce quintet which embodies a powerful exploration on polygamy making audiences engage with this subject from multiple angles; and a revival of the highly acclaimed 'Kwenda - Kwenda', a compelling exploration of women wishing to break away from their roots yet worried about the loss of tradition. Choreographer Alesandra Seutin's (Associate Artist at East London Dance) combines traditional African dance with Contemporary and Hip Hop dynamics resulting in a distinctly fast paced, athletic evening of Afro-Eclectic Contemporary Dance.
