Front Line has become something of a signature piece for the Henri Oguike Dance Company, being in demand since their first performance of it in 2002. Sanjoy Roy, writing for the journal Dance Now hailed the work as 'being in a class of its own'. Henri Oguike, a founder member of the Richard Alston Dance Company and winner of a prestigious Jerwood Award for young choreographers in 1997, created his own company in 1999. His devotion to the primacy of the relationship between music and dance quickly earned him critical acclaim and in 2001 he received the Time Out Award for the Most Outstanding New Company. In 2003 the Arts Council England sponsored the filming of Front Line. The book provides an insight into the creation of Front Line.Part 1 provides biographical information on the three collaborators Henri Oguike, Guy Hoare (lighting designer) and Elizabeth Baker (costume designer). It places Front Line within the artistic context of their careers. Details are also given on Dimitry Shostakovich (the composer of the music). Part 2 explores the background context of contemporary dance in the UK and suggests useful resources for study of these aspects. Part 3 gives insight into the starting points for Front Line and outlines the contributions of the choreography, music and lighting design. Part 4 lays out an analytical overview of Front Line and suggests a range of practical and theoretical tasks for the teacher to use. A chart is included giving details of a variety of dances that can be used as comparison and contrast with Front Line to enable teachers to plan their GCSE courses. Appendices provide further contextual information, resources and a bibliography. This is the third Creative Insights published by Dance Books. Along with White Man Sleeps and Rush, Front Line: Creative Insights provides an in-depth exploration of a single dance and its background contexts.It will be of interest to a wide range of readers including teachers and students of dance and those wanting information about contemporary dance in the UK.

Download or read book Until the Lions written by Karthika Nair and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling and eloquent reworking of the Mahabharata, one of South Asia's best-loved epics, through nineteen peripheral voices. With daring poetic forms, Karthika Naïr breathes new life into this ancient epic. Karthika Naïr refracts the epic Mahabharata through the voices of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens as well as abducted princesses, tribal queens, and a gender-shifting god. As peripheral figures and silent catalysts take center stage, we get a glimpse of lives and stories buried beneath the dramas of god and nation, heroics and victory - of the lives obscured by myth and history, all too often interchangeable. Until the Lions is a kaleidoscopic, poetic tour de force. It reveals the most intimate threads of desire, greed, and sacrifice in this foundational epic.

Download or read book The Wife of Willesden written by Zadie Smith and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zadie Smith's first time writing for the stage, a riotous twenty-first century translation of Geoffrey Chaucer's classic The Wife of Bath “Married five times. Mother. Lover. Aunt. Friend. She plays many roles round here. And never Scared to tell the whole of her truth, whether Or not anyone wants to hear it. Wife Of Willesden: pissed enough to tell her life Story to whoever has ears and eyes . . .” In her stage-writing debut, celebrated novelist and essayist Zadie Smith brings to life a comedic and cutting twenty-first century translation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s classic The Wife of Bath. The Wife of Willesden follows Alvita, a Jamaican-born British woman in her mid-50s, as she tells her life story to a band of strangers in a small pub on the Kilburn High Road. Wearing fake gold chains, dressed in knock-off designer clothes, and speaking in a mixture of London slang and patois, Alvita recalls her five marriages in outrageous, bawdy detail, rewrites her mistakes as triumphs, and shares her beliefs on femininity, sexuality, and misogyny with anyone willing to listen. A thoughtful reimagining of an unforgettable narrative of female sexual power, written with singular verve and wit, The Wife of Willesden shows why Zadie Smith is one of the sharpest and most versatile writers working today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sadler’s Wells is the world’s leading Dance House. Sadler’s Wells has developed new audiences for dance, this powerful and emotive art, for performances shown within its theatre spaces and outside – in fact around the world. What makes Sadler’s Wells different is its determination to nurture world class artists like Akram Khan, Sylvie Guillem, Wayne McGregor, Matthew Bourne, Jasmin Vardimon, the Ballet Boyz and Hofesh Shechter, using its unique vision, style and creativity to put together choreographers, dancers, lighting and stage designers, composers and other artists to make dance that is wildly exciting, new and different. Sadler’s Wells Dance House looks at the making of some of the most iconic dance works of this century and into the mix of dancers, choreographers and creators Sadler’s Wells has helped inspire. Including insightful analysis of this phenomenon by Sarah Crompton, arts editor in chief and dance critic for the Sunday Telegraph, and colour photographs of many of those works, Sadler’s Wells Dance House gives a clear view both of the creative process of the Sadler’s Wells artists and of the role this legendary theatre has played in remaking and reshaping dance for the 21st century.

Kenneth Halliwell and Joe Orton - RADA graduates, aspiring playwrights, and sometime lovers - plot their rightful place at the centre of London’s literary scene. But after a short interlude at Her Majesty’s pleasure, Joe is about to become the greatest, and most notorious comic playwright since Oscar Wilde, whilst Ken stays indoors re-decorating, reduced to sharing Joe’s success with their neighbour, Mrs Corden, over tea and a slice of battenburg.

It tells the sensational story behind the domestic life of Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell, holed up in a tiny flat in Islington, trading well-trodden insults and hilarious put-downs like any old married couple. Prick Up Your Ears opened at the Comedy Theatre, London in September 2009, with a cast including Little Britain’s Matt Lucas and Chris New.
