Its a wet Februany Saturday in Newlyn Cornwall and dynamic Cornwall youth dance group All Boys Dance and Panta Rei Danse Teater, the Norwegian dance company are about to perform the outcomes of the ground breaking mini-residency on the Wharves and in The Centre in Newlyn. Panta Rei Danse Teater
are now regular visitors to Cornwall thanks to Carn to Cove - they have performed "I Wish Her Well"; "House Gran Nabo", "We Fiction and Private Rites" in spaces from the Lisekerret Centre, to the Guildhall St Ives . This time they performed with a 3 male dancers and two brilliant live musicians cellist (Gustavo Tavares) and pianist/composer (Sverre Indris Joner) on stage a work called "Lullaby"
Lullaby explores the prickly relationships that men and boys develop in their friendship groups....joshing, messing about, facing off, fighting. The male subject matter of the dance "Lullaby" was the springboard for Rob Mennear and Suzy West - dance leaders of All Boys Dance to start working with their group on a curtain-raiser for the show. Johnny (based in England) one of the Panta Rei dancers visited Plymouth and had a pre-tour exchange of themes and dance routines workshop. Suzy, Rob and the boys developed their own work and also work they could perform in the streets and harbour of Newlyn as a open air performance to attract people to the evening show. As it happens the show has sold out The Centre Newlyn where Jerry Drew and his team have booked the show but here is a clip from their rehearsal alongside the Trawlers tied up in Newlyn.......so you can get an idea of what they got up to.
This visit by @PantaReiDansTeater was supported by the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, a project funded by the Arts Council Strategic Touring Initiative and managed by the National Rural Touring Forum. As part to Carn to Cove's project Panta Rei also spent Sunday morning working with a further 47 dancers drawn from Cornwall Youth Dance Theatre and #HFC Youth Dance at St Austell College. "The Panta Rei workshops were fantastic. Really well pitched and taught and a fantastic opportunity for the groups to learn the rep. It's fantastic having 3 strong male dancers lead the sessions. Thank you for bringing them to Cornwall" said Helen Tiplady of Hall for Cornwall youth dance
As an integral part of top performers' visits to Cornwall, Carn to Cove works with all loads of partners to offer opportunities for learning and for the public to take part. The next such opportunity we are offering is 6-8 2017 April in Easter Holiday when Lila Dance (www.liladance will undertake their residency (also in West Penwith at the Newlyn Centre) with their show "The Deluge". This is an opportunity for older people to take part in a community dance project and a younger group too - the company will come on Thursday and Friday and work with two separate groups (daytime and evening) to explore what happens when a flood interrupts our lives (how apposite in Cornwall). Villagers and school children in Portreath took part last October in this show and sold out the Memorial Hall .....so get your tickets for Newlyn early and join in.
