InSite Intensive with La Macana and Ember (Spain)
Tuesday 31st July - Contemporary technique class and choreographic workshop with a focus on outdoor and sited work, for professional dancers and those wishing to work at a professional pace
Cost: £10
This workshop will focus on mental and physical communication with our partners and finding the balance between bodies.Technical exercises and games will be the starting point for group and partner work. We believe that as much as the relation between performers is clear, it will directly correspond to the emotional reaction of the viewer, as dance (movement, gestures etc.) is a stronger emphatic way of communication.
Some of our work has been created for the outdoors in an attempt to recover public spaces, to invade it again, to use it as our playground (as it used to be) and share this experience with onlookers.
We will use recognisable human relationships such as power, dependency, trust, protection, equality etc. Relationships that will help us to create images, to define energies and to invent stories. Participants will explore some given elements and steps but will also be invited to play with their own material within a defined context.
La Macana - La Macana is a dance company based in Galicia (Spain) formed by Caterina Varela and Alexis Fernandez in 2009. Their first work as a duet 'Ven' has won a number of awards and has achieved wide acclaim internationally with performances in over 20 countries. From this they have also been working on their own different productions. La Macana continue to collaborate with several artists and combine their creative work with teaching internationally
www.lamacana.es
Ember - Ember is an artistic platform that holds the works of Laura Aris, Jorge Jauregui and their collaborations. Both are Spainish dancers, choreographers and teachers, living in Belgium. In 2009, after having worked for several big companies, they started to search for their own artistic voice. Ember collaborate with several artists and their performances are being presented internationally

You can also catch La Macana and Ember, performing both collaboratively and seperately at Urban Moves 2012

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
PUBLIC EVENTS FOR HANGING OUT ARE NOW FREE - SO THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT
TO BOOK YOUR TICKETS!!
Celebrate the Victoria and Albert Museum display, ‘Hanging Out –
Youth Culture Then and Now’ and its influence on young people today.
It brings together historic material with work made by youth
participants in response. The 50s and 60s were a highpoint for youth
culture and saw innovation in fashion, film, music, entertainment, sport
and protest. This was a time of social change and mass immigration of
people from the commonwealth countries, events that would have a lasting
impact on British culture.
Where Did You Hang Out?
Saturday 14 July 2012, 12:30 – 17:00
FREE!
Explore the London scene and popular culture during the 50s and 60s
with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winning actress Rita Tushingham (‘A
Taste of Honey, ‘The Leather Boys’), Ace Cafe's Managing Director
Mark Wilsmore and Cue Club performer Fred Peters (formally of Freddie
Notes and the Rudies), as they share their accounts of growing up and
hanging out during this era with Royal College of Art Cultural Historian
Barry Curtis.
After the War – Youth Protest, Style, Image and Identity
Sunday 22 July 2012, 12:00 - 17:00
FREE!
Spend a day exploring the cultural revolution after WWII through 50s
glamour and the image of austere times, the modern housing estate and
interiors. Examine the social and political frameworks that influenced
a new counter-culture and identity, fuelled by the ‘birth of the
teenager’ and the swinging 60s. Enjoy a DJ set, film screenings
including the Hanging Out documentary, talks programme, 50s & 60s
make-overs, t-shirt printing, paper dress making and live monologues.
Hanging Out – Youth Culture Then and Now is in collaboration with
Full Spectrum Productions who are sponsored by
The National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Alesandra Seutin/Vocab Dance Company has been invited to perform and to deliver a workshop/demonstration on Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 September, in which she will share her unique and specific approach on contemporary dance.

Circomedia is the Bristol-based and internationally renowned training centre for circus and physical theatre. We offer a number of training courses for young people including the BTEC Diploma and Extended Diploma in Performance. The course gives students age 16+ the opportunity to train in a variety of circus disciplines while learning about the performing arts industry and how, as a performer, to maintain a healthy body.
Our previous BTEC courses have always included a professional work experience opportunity and have seen performance collaborations with partners such as the Olympics, Cirque Bijou and Harbourside Festival.
Our BTEC course involves fairly intensive training, 3 days a week and we have found it suits students who are not necessarily from an academic background. It is also very popular with those who have previous dance, gymnastics, and sports experience due to the physical nature of the course. There is an academic side to the course as it is worth the equivalent of two A-Levels but a great deal of time is spent training with professional circus performers to improve skill levels and fitness. Students work toward a final, full-length devised show that places as much emphasis on theatre and physical theatre as it does on circus-skills. This element often attracts students from a performing arts and drama background who wish to develop new performance techniques.
On Tuesday 21 August we have an open audition and taster session at Circomedia, St Paul ’s Church, Portland Square , Bristol BS2 8SJ . This is an opportunity for any young person aged 16+ to come along, try out some of the skills for the course and see if it might be of interest to them. Further information about the course, how to apply and what the taster day entails can be found on our website www.circomedia.com or by contacting Saba James sabaj@circomedia.com or 0117 947 7288.
I’ve also attached further information on the course and would be grateful if you could pass it on to your contacts or any young people that you think might be interested. If you would like me to post some Circomedia prospectuses please let me know. Links to our online application form can be found here: http://www.circomedia.com/circus-training-courses/

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Celebrate the Victoria and Albert Museum display, ‘Hanging Out –
Youth Culture Then and Now’ and its influence on young people today.
It brings together historic material with work made by youth
participants in response. The 50s and 60s were a highpoint for youth
culture and saw innovation in fashion, film, music, entertainment, sport
and protest. This was a time of social change and mass immigration of
people from the commonwealth countries, events that would have a lasting
impact on British culture.
Join us to celebrate Hanging Out – Youth Culture Then and Now with
two special events:
Where Did You Hang Out?
Saturday 14 July 2012, 12:30 – 17:00

Notes and the Rudies), as they share their accounts of growing up and
hanging out during this era with Royal College of Art Cultural Historian
Barry Curtis.
After the War – Youth Protest, Style, Image and Identity
Sunday 22 July 2012, 12:00 - 17:00
£8, £5 concession
Spend a day exploring the cultural revolution after WWII through 50s
glamour and the image of austere times, the modern housing estate and
interiors. Examine the social and political frameworks that influenced
a new counter-culture and identity, fuelled by the ‘birth of the
teenager’ and the swinging 60s. Enjoy a DJ set, film screenings
including the Hanging Out documentary, talks programme, 50s & 60s
make-overs, t-shirt printing, paper dress making and live monologues.

Talking about the Empire, when I met Ra at the Akemi market in Willesden, pretty much the first thing he said to me was that we had been “de-selected”, before explaining by showing me a multi-page spread in Sunday’s Observer newspaper looking at the issue of Britishness. What he meant by being “de-selected” was that not one African or part African was among the 5 subjects highlighted http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/17/being-british-does-it-matter
The Voice Online provided a counterpoint with “Rule Britannia, Britannia, rule the waves!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Celebrate the Victoria and Albert Museum display, ‘Hanging Out –
Youth Culture Then and Now’ and its influence on young people today.
It brings together historic material with work made by youth
participants in response. The 50s and 60s were a highpoint for youth
culture and saw innovation in fashion, film, music, entertainment, sport
and protest. This was a time of social change and mass immigration of
people from the commonwealth countries, events that would have a lasting
impact on British culture.
Join us to celebrate Hanging Out – Youth Culture Then and Now with
two special events:
Where Did You Hang Out?
Saturday 14 July 2012, 12:30 – 17:00
£10, £7 concession
Explore the London scene and popular culture during the 50s and 60s
with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winning actress Rita Tushingham (‘A
Taste of Honey, ‘The Leather Boys’), Ace Cafe's Managing Director
Mark Wilsmore and Cue Club performer Fred Peters (formally of Freddie
Notes and the Rudies), as they share their accounts of growing up and
hanging out during this era with Royal College of Art Cultural Historian
Barry Curtis.
After the War – Youth Protest, Style, Image and Identity
Sunday 22 July 2012, 12:00 - 17:00
£8, £5 concession
Spend a day exploring the cultural revolution after WWII through 50s
glamour and the image of austere times, the modern housing estate and
interiors. Examine the social and political frameworks that influenced
a new counter-culture and identity, fuelled by the ‘birth of the
teenager’ and the swinging 60s. Enjoy a DJ set, film screenings
including the Hanging Out documentary, talks programme, 50s & 60s
make-overs, t-shirt printing, paper dress making and live monologues.
Hanging Out – Youth Culture Then and Now is in collaboration with
Full Spectrum Productions who are sponsored by The National Lottery
through the Heritage Lottery Fund.

By the way, Omar is honoured with an MBE for services to music in the recently announced Queen’s Birthday List. You can watch a special version of his classic ‘There’s Nothing Like This’ captured live by Jetblakinc.
Talking about the Empire, when I met Ra at the Akemi market in Willesden, pretty much the first thing he said to me was that we had been “de-selected”, before explaining by showing me a multi-page spread in Sunday’s Observer newspaper looking at the issue of Britishness. What he meant by being “de-selected” was that not one African or part African was among the 5 subjects highlighted http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/17/being-british-does-it-matter
The Voice Online provided a counterpoint with “Rule Britannia, Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!” ringing in his ears, the author, Nelson Abbey, got his friend and acquaintances to give their take on Britain.
