| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Saturday 29-Jun-13 02:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

National Theatre, Munich Forever Young |
Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Tuesday 2-Jul-13 07:30pm Forever Young Forever Young – the title of a mixed-bill program featuring José Limón’s The Moor‘s Pavane and Choreartium by Léonide Massine, with a hint of irony, reflects on a central theme of dance research which recently has been strongly endorsed by the National Culture Foundation: What is dance heritage and how do we pass it on? How do we handle the responsibility of keeping alive the legacies created by past choreographers? When the quality of the work itself transcends all of its contemporary ties and cross-references, it carries over seamlessly to the next generation: it is indeed Forever young… A certain part of this legacy arguably is to be kept in archives – the rest needs to stay alive through performance.
The Bavarian State Ballet responds to the call for innovation in dance during the season by dedicating it to the classic modernity as well as challenging its audience’s perceptions with original contemporary works. With his masterpiece Choreartium, originating from the tradition of the Ballets Russes, choreographer Léonide Massine laid the groundwork for future artists by visualizing music through dance. Thereby, he created unsentimental works that, apart from their metaphysical content, stand for pure aesthetic 'material' which will be accessible to many generations to come. José Limón’s ballet The Moor‘s Pavane, a take on Shakespeare’s drama between Otello and Desdemona, focuses on the human inability to love, trust and his lack of compassion and empathy. To this day, the ballet by Mexican-American choreographer José Limón from 1949 is considered one of the key-repertory pieces of American Modern dance.Image credit: José Limón | ||

Celebrated for its unforgettable rock gig atmosphere, Shechter’s breathtaking ensemble sequences and ground-shaking score create a poweful, energetic experience. Continuing Shechter’s revolutionary take on the experience of contemporary dance, audience members with standing tickets will be able to get close to the action to experience the full intensity of this “work of galvanising, challenging power” (The Guardian). | ||

| Sadler's Wells, London, Rosebery Avenue,, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom Wednesday 10-Jul-13 07:30pm Quimeras Legendary flamenco guitarist, composer, dramatist and producer Paco Peña returns to Sadler’s Wells with his latest narrative work Quimeras, directed by Southbank Centre artistic director Jude Kelly. Exploring the lure of travel and the dream of people everywhere of finding a better life - and the profound influence that the African continent has had on European culture - Quimeras tells the story of a group of Africans who have come to Spain in search of work. Over a career that spans more than four decades, Peña has expanded the possibilities of flamenco and changed perceptions of the art form by mining the richness of its traditions while continuing to be inspired by contemporary culture. With Quimeras, he draws on his own experience of living in Andalusia, a gateway to Europe for many north African immigrants. The result is a marriage of both traditional Spanish and African music and dance, creating a spectacle of virtuoso performances and intimate storytelling which was described as “breathtakingly beautiful” (Daily Telegraph). | ||

Needless to say, love triumphs across the board at the end – the badly guarded daughter gets her beloved Alain – neither her mother, the widow Simone, nor the rich farmer with his dolt of a son can prevent it. And the widow surprisingly gets a man as well. | ||

| Sadler's Wells, London, Rosebery Avenue,, London EC1R 4TN, United Kingdom Saturday 13-Jul-13 02:30pm Quimeras Legendary flamenco guitarist, composer, dramatist and producer Paco Peña returns to Sadler’s Wells with his latest narrative work Quimeras, directed by Southbank Centre artistic director Jude Kelly. Exploring the lure of travel and the dream of people everywhere of finding a better life - and the profound influence that the African continent has had on European culture - Quimeras tells the story of a group of Africans who have come to Spain in search of work. Over a career that spans more than four decades, Peña has expanded the possibilities of flamenco and changed perceptions of the art form by mining the richness of its traditions while continuing to be inspired by contemporary culture. With Quimeras, he draws on his own experience of living in Andalusia, a gateway to Europe for many north African immigrants. The result is a marriage of both traditional Spanish and African music and dance, creating a spectacle of virtuoso performances and intimate storytelling which was described as “breathtakingly beautiful” (Daily Telegraph). | ||
