LEADING dance training company Transitions will showcase three brand new works at The Courtyard on Wednesday, April 13.

Triple Bill showcases the next generation of contemporary dance performers from Trinity Laban, with 12 MA students performing three brand new pieces from choreographers Dog Kennel Hill Project, Theo Clinkard and Ederson Rodrigues Xavier.

Transitions Dance Company aims to allow company members to gain practical experience of life in a touring dance company whilst simultaneously completing their MA Dance Performance.

Fieldwork, from performance and research collective Dog Kennel Hill Project, explores how, as a newly formed company, the dancers locate themselves now and in relation to their past. Through a deconstructed series of arrivals and departures and a language of stumbles, false starts, surges and going round in circles, Fieldwork asks “when do we truly arrive anywhere?”

The second piece, 'my dance, your touch', draws on research that outlines how physical touch affects our behavioural, cultural, emotional and biological development. Through memories, connections and music the movements of the piece are each crafted by the touch of another.

Completing the trio, 12 is a physically demanding piece, following internal impulses or external attraction to capture the dancers’ attention. Incorporating a specially created score composed by Trinity Laban student Ben Pearson, the piece develops bonds formed through dynamic and sensitive partnering, solitary movements, group passages and intricate physical puzzles.
