SUMMARY:Christos Papadopoulos: Mellowing
DESCRIPTION:In his new production the Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos embarks on his inaugural collaboration with the dancers of the Dance On Ensemble\, a group that features performers aged more than 40. Incorporating their knowledge and experience into the creation\, together they explore moments of perception and intensities of the moment that create a lively restlessness\, a permanent vibration in which the spectator is inevitably involved … \nChristos Papadopoulos’ works are fed by an intensely observant approach to movement and often unfold with a lively and meditative power. His attention is focused on the minimal shifts of perception\, the perpetual\, often unnoticed and yet powerful movements that are ever-present in nature\, in everyday life\, within physical phenomena and political contexts. The result promises a memorable and perhaps profound experience. \nIn the theatre foyer at 7.30pm there’s a 20-minute Moving Introduction to the piece. This interactive session invites the audience to explore two to three movement approaches from the choreography – no dance experience is needed\, “just a bit of curiosity”. \nMellowing is presented in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region. Use the code MELLOWING20 for a discount on the ticket price. \nAnd if you want more\, there’s a two-hour Choreographic Laboratory 40+ in the afternoon led by Laura Böttinger\, a senior dancer with the Dance On Ensemble. Again\, no prior experience is needed – just a willingness to explore movement. The workshop runs 4-6pm at the Cultural Foundation; it’s free\, but pre-register here.

SUMMARY:Sima Dance Company: NUN
DESCRIPTION:Created by choreographer Alaa Krimed and performed by his acclaimed dance company as part of the Year of Ocean\, NUN explores the relationship between human beings and the sea – “a cosmic mirror reflecting the complexity of life” as the promo puts it. Through expressive choreography\, sound\, and visual poetry\, the performance explores how the ocean embodies our deepest dualities: drifting and returning\, life and death\, loss and rebirth … “Like the sea\, the human soul is constantly reshaped by invisible currents\, breaking and renewing itself in a perpetual cycle”. \nThe title carries ancient and universal resonance. In Mesopotamian and Egyptian cosmologies\, Nun is the primordial ocean\, the infinite waters preceding creation; in certain theological and philosophical interpretations within Islam\, it also symbolises the cosmic sea linked to knowledge\, creation\, and the mysteries of existence. “Across time and cultures\, Nun evokes beginnings\, the unknown depths\, and the hidden wisdom beneath the surface of the world.”
