Welcome to Resolution! 2014
Hats off to Resolution! by Donald Hutera
Resolution! is about new voices and new choreography. This festival is an opportunity for artists to try out their work for a different audience for the very first time. It may be 25 years old but there is nothing tried and tested about it.
I can’t recall my first-ever visit to Resolution! Nor have I been able to determine the exact year when I began to contribute to Resolution! Review as a professional watcher and mentor to aspiring writers. But surely this annual showcase of work by new and (mainly) young choreographers/companies has always been with us. Hasn’t it?
Works are selected for the platform on the basis of written proposals. There is no formula and neither ourselves or are audience ever quite know what we are going to see. Every piece is different and every year is full of surprises and that is what makes this festival retain its impact and importance after a quarter of a century.
Eddie Nixon Theatre & Artist Development Director The Place
The answer, of course, is no. After a quarter-century it only seems that way. Easy to see why. Even now, in a time when showcases for up-and-coming artists are proliferating, Resolution! remains the mother (or, if you like, the big daddy) of them all. As a staple event of the London/UK dance calendar it’s both a fine way to ring in the New Year and a smorgasbord-like spread for hearty appetites. Over the decades I’ve grown quite fond of the lucky dip nature of this lively beast. I like making discoveries and appreciate the risks of opening yourself up to work by names-you-recognise and complete unknowns. I’ve learnt about failure, too, whether that means a given dance failing to engage me or me failing it. One agonising piece, title and maker’s name long-forgotten, got me so riled up I remember thinking, ’I could do better than that!’ and then, as postscript, ’…Couldn’t I?’ And so as winter warmer, treasure hunt or potentially motivating performance feast, hats off to Resolution!

The history of Resolution! is about stability and flux. A consistent professional framework surrounding a whirlwind of individual creativity that whips up a radically different collection of works each time.
