makers from Yorkshire and beyond who seek to experiment, push
dance as a form or find a new voice.

Live Bites
Friday 1 November, 7.30pm
Admission £8.00, concessions £6.00
We welcome to Leeds some of the most
exciting artists working with dance agencies
in Scotland and the North of England, and
artists selected from our own region.
What’s Love Got To Do With It? by
Hull-based Non Applicables explores the
realms of love and all its possibilities and
pitfalls. Mingle through the dating circuit in
a series of fragmented experiences and
light-hearted episodes that observe social
etiquette, online profiles and the
fundamental rules of dating.
Joelene English’s February 11th 1963 is a poignant evocation of the
last days of Sylvia Plath’s life, and an exploration of her relationship
with her husband, the poet Ted Hughes.
Daniela B Larsen & Robert Guy’s This House Smells of Ghostshas been described by critics as “startling athletic choreography”
with “nonchalant, raw execution.”
Tamsyn Russell’s ID Me is an experiment in movement language and
performance. Three female performers work with a process of
investigation into hidden identities. Through exposing thoughts and images
rarely expressed yet deeply embodied in their movement memory, they
explore the question: Is this really who we are or just a glimpse of a corner
of our minds?

Contemporary Dance present Friday Firsts #21
Arrivals
Friday 6 December, 7.30pm
Admission £8.00, concessions £6.00
Yorkshire Dance and Northern School
of Contemporary Dance present
Arrivals / Departures, a weekend of
performances, workshops and
conversations exploring the possibilities
for artists from the north of England
working in Europe and vice versa.
Arrivals features the premiere of the
new work by Igor and Moreno, an Italian/Hungarian dance duet based in
London, alongside one work from a Yorkshire-based artist.
Jordan Massarella Dance’s Wannabe documents the rise and fall of 90s
pop starlet Just Jane and her ongoing quest for fame, fortune and fulfilment.
Igor & Moreno present Idiot-Syncracy, to remind us of our ability to be
happy, exploring all those things we desire and which often are within
reach. Relentless, dynamic and constantly changing, it is a ritual for the
times in which we live – serious, but witty; honest, but ironic.

How and why can artists in the
North of England connect with dance
in Europe? What are the myths and
realities of building international
partnerships and how can this
support your work, creativity, thinking
and opportunities? This seminar is
a unique chance for artists/dancers
to meet some of the best-travelled promoters, networkers and artists;
to reflect and debate developing dance practice in a European context.
With, amongst others, Roberto Casarotto (B Motion, Italy and
Aerowaves) and Alison Andrews (A Quiet Word, IETM member).

Tickets £12.00, concessions £6.00
Departures is a mixed bill featuring a variety of
short works created by dance artists who have
strong connections to Yorkshire, from recent
graduates to established companies.
Mad Dogs Dance Theatre’s Missing is a
poignant portrayal of a couple struggling with
the sudden loss of their child, living in a world
where nothing feels meaningful.
In Riccardo Meneghini’s i_Entity the dancer
is “craftsman”, “artisan” and “producer” –
reminding us that we are creators of our own
lives; that we can change them, if we decide to.
Carlos Pons Guerra’s DeNada Dance Theatre
presents O Maria, a new tale of ham and
frustrated desire from a stifling kitchen in
Franco’s Seville, where a divine apparition
unleashes a torrent of unquenchable passions.
Life is a Carnival by Moreno Solinas (selected
by the pan-European Aerowaves network as
a ‘priority company’) is an auto-biographical
solo. Moreno delves into his early training in
Latin American dance, threading together fiery
dance routines and evocative songs in a fast-
paced, playful journey to his past.
