Prestigious Dance School to showcase their work at the Marina Theatre

It’s a production that showcases four new dance works by international choreographers, performed by a company of eleven dancers trained at some of the world’s most prestigious dance schools.

And for the dancers of ‘Verve’, the postgraduate Performance Company of Northern School of Contemporary Dance, their tour will soon arrive at the Marina Theatre in Lowestoft.

Each year ‘Verve’ commissions choreographers from all over the world to create a distinct, engaging, and thought-provoking programme of work.

The company works with established and emerging choreographers, giving dancers and audiences an appreciation of the breadth of what is happening in dance today.

This year’s programme includes NSCD Alumnus Carlos Pons Guerra’s wild Rita. Set in a nunnery and featuring a soundtrack of Cuban percussion and Mexican Rancheras, the work explores what happens when we suppress the vitality and desires of youth.

The show will arrive at the Marina Theatre on Thursday, May 18 at 7.30pm.

This is the company’s first tour under new artistic director Matthew Robinson.

“We are excited to be hitting the road and sharing the work of these four internationally renowned choreographers with audiences across the UK and beyond,” Mr Robinson said. "The dancers have worked with passion and determination with the choreographers to produce a performance that will surprise and enthral, showcasing their versatility and power”.

‘Verve’ offers emerging dance artists the opportunity to challenge and develop their skills across a varied repertoire of work, guided by the Artistic Director, alongside an exciting range of guest teachers and visiting artists.

The programme provides dancers with a safe and inspiring space to take creative risks with their practice, grow their individual artistry, rigorously challenge their physical skill and develop their identity as performers.

Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD), based in Leeds, is the only conservatoire contemporary dance school in the UK outside of London.

Full priced tickets are £12.75, Concessions £10.75.
