Rising Dance Stars
BRIDPORT BALLET Central returns to Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday 11th Jun at 7.30pm, as part of the company’s 2022 tour, with a new cast of rising stars of the dance scene. They will perform a mixture of new pieces from distinguished choreographers Ashley Page OBE, Mthuthuzeli November, and Mikaela Polley, alongside a re-staging of Cathy Martson’s 2020 piece Moving, Still. Mikaela Polley’s new piece is a celebration of the dynamism of the ensemble featuring classical ballet and contemporary dance. New choreography by Ashley Page is set to music by composer John Adams. Ballet Black’s Mthuthuzeli November has created a new piece which demonstrates his distinctive choreographic voice.
A Renaissance and Baroque tapestry
DORCHESTER MUSIC from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are woven into a fascinating musical tapestry in Historical Fiction,
at Dorchester’s St Mary’s Church on Sunday 12th June at 7pm. Making a welcome return to Dorchester Arts, saxophonist Christian Forshaw is joined by soprano Grace Davidson and Libby Burgess, organ. The programme includes Handel’s Eternal Source of Light Divine and Gibbons’ The Silver Swan. Davidson’s soprano voice intertwines with Forshaw’s saxophone over the majestic backdrop of the organ, to create a performance which travels through dramatic grandeur and spacious serenity. Christian Forshaw last visited Dorchester with Tenebrae for their magnificent Drop, Drop Slow Tears concert, and this beautiful programme of voice, saxophone and organ makes an ideal follow-up to that memorable evening of music.
