London Dance review of ‘Switch’

“Highly-stylised contemporary movement with borrowed timing and execution from Hip Hop… the production quality and the dancers’ technique was second to none.” (LondonDance.com)

Switch is on the road

Posted in Uncategorized on September 23, 2009 by theliftcreativeservices

Switch opened on Saturday at The Northern School of Dance in Leeds, the theatre was full to the brim and the atmosphere absolutely buzzing! We were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of positive feedback from audience members, take a look, and then buy tickets to come and see it of course!

“Moving and powerful.” // “Brilliant performance, the dancers were physically and emotionally expressive.” // “The piece was exciting choreographically and creatively, and the physicality of the work was outstanding – an explosive and intense physical and visual experience!” // “The rawest company I have ever seen! 10/10″  // “Strong, powerful, even aggressive movement, passionate at moments… beautiful dancers.” // “Amazed at the versatility, technique, timing, balance and overall talent of the dancers.” // “Very polished, professional, integrous!… Not gimmicky.” // “Powerful, strong, a very forceful and emotive, determined group of dancers.” // Dynamic, well choreographed, passionate, really enjoyed it. 9/10″

ACE youth round-up

Posted in ACE Youth with tags , , on August 22, 2009 by theliftcreativeservices

Our youth company ACE youth have been having an exciting summer, they recently performed ‘The Journey Home’ at Charlecote Park in Warwickshire as part of a National Trust project and performed at a youth dance festival in Holland. They have recently returned energised from an enjoyable, fun and creative week-long summer residency in Norfolk with Norfolk Dance. Combining a newly formed youth group from Norfolk and ACE youth. ACE dance and music ran workshops to create a new piece which was performed outdoors at Great Yarmouth, The market-place, The seafront and at The Holt Festival and the Queens Hall in Watton. ACE youth also performed their own rep as part of the two indoor performances. A big thank you to Norfolk Dance for a great week! Watch out for our talented young performers at ArtsFest in Birmingham this September and watch them perform before our performance on Thursday 24th September at The Wolverhampton Arena.
