MAX.IMEALLDANCE & TACITURN DANCE COMPANYMEITHEAL is influenced by ritual, routine and way of life in an exploration of how our past inspires our present and then informs our sense of community. Energetic and vibrant, this is breathtaking dance characterised by fluidity of movement and complex and thrilling articulation, coupled with unrelenting industrial rhythms. Taciturn offers a survival guide for dealing with our worst-case scenarios, helped along by mentors Company Chameleon, Gary Clarke and Frauke Requardt. ‘Hope for the best, expect the worst’ is Taciturn’s motto for their Fringe debut. Will they take the punch? Will you take their advice?At Dance Base Click to book online Meitheal - MAX.IMEALLDANCE Press Cuttings"both pieces give pleasure: Meithall for the quality of dance, Worst Case Scenario for the personality and style."Tramway Young Critics, Sun 19 Aug 2012, vilearts.blogspot.co.uk"MEITHEAL was probably the strongest dance piece I’ve seen in this festival."Kate Adamson, Sun 19 Aug 2012, blurofwoodsmoke.wordpress.com"Cleanly executed and atmospheric piece"Rachel Donnelly, Tue 21 Aug 2012, theskinny.co.uk ★★★"Six individuals find strength in each other to form a community of united power. With clear-cut lighting design from Simon Gane, their interlinking structures become accentuated; reinforcing the idea that they’re stronger together than apart, which indeed they are."Lucinda Al-Zoghbi, Tue 28 Aug 2012, threeweeks.co.uk ★★★★Worst Case Scenario - TACITURN DANCE COMPANY Press Cuttings"both pieces give pleasure: Meithall for the quality of dance, Worst Case Scenario for the personality and style."Tramway Young Critics, Sun 19 Aug 2012, vilearts.blogspot.co.uk"A high-spirited jape"Rachel Donnelly, Tue 21 Aug 2012, theskinny.co.uk ★★★"The three blonde bombshells of Taciturn Dance Company explode onto the stage with clown-like facial expressions and baggy blue trousers. ‘Worst Case Scenario’ dramatically and engagingly portrays the creative side of health and safety by enacting the eventualities that we all wonder about."Lucinda Al-Zoghbi, Tue 28 Aug 2012, threeweeks.co.uk ★★★★
MYTHILI PRAKASH AND ENSEMBLEDirect from India. Award-winning, spellbinding classical Indian Bharatanatyam style dance performed to live music. Natyam evokes the fire energy of the sun, depicts a range of emotions through abhinaya (facial expressions), and closes with a vibrantly rhythmic finale. Unmissable for audiences new to Indian culture and connoisseurs of the art form. Live music adds even more colour and heartbeat to this elegantand technically challenging style of dance and the added lyricism of Bharatanatyam soloist Mythili Prakash makes the experience breathtaking. Beautiful and exciting and a unique chance to see an artist at the pinnacle of her career. ‘Simply Sparkling... a Bharatanatyam delight... Mythili is an uncommon aggregate of talent, commitment and presence with that precious ingredient of integrity…’ (Leela Venkataraman, The Hindu, New Delhi)At Dance Base Click to book online Press Cuttings "This is a beautiful piece of dancing that is bolstered by three very talented musicians to produce a joyful exposition of a traditional Indian form."Rachel Donnelly, Tue 21 Aug 2012, www.theskinny.co.uk★★★★"something very special indeed."Mary Brennan, Fri 24 Aug 2012, The Herald ★★★★"A breathtaking performance which captures the heart and soul."Lucinda Al-Zoghbi, Tue 28 Aug 2012, threeweeks.co.uk ★★★★★
