There is NO sound, but voice of dance is so strong you can see what it is saying.

If not, just leave some music playing and see how it fit's.

Alvin Ailey speaking at UCLA 3/9/1983



"The kind of company, I want to have".... Alvin Ailey

I was surprised to get a shout out in this recording. That is why, you should always work
hard and be true to the gift of dance. As you never know, who is taking note of your present.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: The Stack-Up



This dance is very close to my heart, as this is a ballet I had to learn when I first joined the company.
 Learn it in ballet shoes, then dance it full out in heels.
Shut up and Dance!

Secret Encounters: Engage the unexpected



I'm delighted to let you know that the C-12 Dance Theatre have been successful in their application to the Arts Council, requesting money to support the creation of "Secret Encounters". 


Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster, 
The project is about risk, innovation and an attempt to find new ways to engage and inspire the public through movement, without the traditional 'there is a performance about to happen, this is a performance' set up. 

The project is about risk, innovation and an attempt to find new ways to engage and inspire the public through movement, without the traditional 'there is a performance about to happen, this is a performance' set up.

They will be commissioning 4 exciting, diverse and award winning choreographers to create a 5 minute duet each, 
Annie-Lunnette Deakin-Foster, 

Tony Adigun, Corey Baker & Sally Marie. Each duet has the same theme "First encounters that last forever".  These duets will be performed at 8 locations per performance day. Unannounced, no music and performance times are hidden from the festival goer. The duets will be happening at any location including car parks, bus stops, station platforms, plaza's, shopping centres etc.

How to create a simple wordpress site



Jessica Straker has been in talks with Haringey Council about running some short courses at the libraries and they have agreed to run a trial session on the 24th March at their HALS centre, located on the 2nd floor of the Wood Green Library.

The course will be taught by Jessica, covering how to create a simple wordpress site and is aimed at local people & businesses. Haringey will be charging £5 for this trial session, tickets are not needed in advance but spaces are limited so I advise people to call up in advance and drum up interest. 

If you could share this with the local community and any business owners you know (who may or may not be affected by gentrification) it would be great as Jessica would like to help as many businesses in the area as possible. She has also created a short survey of 10 questions that will help her get a better understanding and knowledge of who's out there:

The session takes place between 1-3pm at:

Haringey Adult Learning Service
