SUMMARY:Chameleon Youth FREE Taster Session
DESCRIPTION:We’ll provide the spark – You create the movement. Chameleon Youth is looking for raw dance talent. \nChameleon Youth\, Manchester’s youth dance company based at Central Library\, is calling out for young people with raw dance talent and a big desire to dance and be creative. \nIf you’re age 11 to 18\, this is an incredible opportunity to be part of a dance company that is inspiring and different to the mainstream. It’s an opportunity to develop as a young dance artist where creativity is a big thing\, and it’s an opportunity to get passionate about pushing yourself to develop an original movement style. \nLaunched last year at Central Library\, Chameleon Youth is the first youth dance company of its kind for Manchester. Members of the youth company learn directly from a professional dance company\, which for ten years\, has toured and performed across the world\, giving new meaning to dance and movement. \nAs part of Chameleon Youth\, you’ll learn skills and techniques from a rich mix of dance styles and you’ll develop confidence through self-expression and working with others. And\, as you’re taught a new language through dance and movement\, you’ll be inspired to make and create your own choreography that tells the story you want it to tell. \nFind out more at the FREE TASTER SESSIONS \nAll levels welcome. Dance experience is by no means essential\, what’s most important is a positive attitude\, loads of enthusiasm and a big desire to dance and be creative. \nChameleon Youth Try-Outs (aka auditions) follow on from the Tasters and will be held at Central Library on Sat 8 July.

SUMMARY:Just an Ordinary Lawyer
DESCRIPTION:“The British Empire was trying desperately to hold on to its colonial possessions by any means … and the foul would often override the fair.” \nTayo Aluko follows the multi-award winning Call Mr Robeson with another brilliantly put-together history lesson delivered as art\, as we host the first performance in the North West. Nigerian Tunji Sowande quietly breaks through multiple barriers to become Britain’s first Black judge in 1978. Also a fine concert singer and keen cricket lover\, he muses on international politics and history as they affect the Black world from Africa to the USA and Britain\, from the point of view of one who would rather watch sports\, and spread love and peace through the medium of song.

SUMMARY:Fermata-with Arundo Quartet
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital society\, people are constantly bombarded with information\, meaning that chances to switch off are almost impossible to find. Rising pressure online and offline has prompted an alarming decline in our mental health\, with one in four people now experiencing a mental health problem as often as every 12 months. By bringing together mindfulness and music\, The Arundo Quartet have found a winning combination to help you successfully navigate whatever each day throws at you. They have assembled a programme of carefully selected minimalist works\, arranged for the quartet\, to create a mood that will be optimum for encouraging a relaxed route into mindful breathing exercises. They will perform these\, whilst playing pre-recorded entry level breathing exercises through a speaker. Swing by and listen to the music\, participate in the exercise or simply have a nap whilst enjoying a breather from the intensity of daily life.

She chooses her language and targets with precision and infuses humour and fight in every verse.” – Henry Normal\, poet \n“Rejecting the beige and embracing the dark\, this collection is a lyrical and defiant hymn to vodka nights and concrete days. Shot through with nostalgia and the fear of losing fellow dancers to normality.” – Kate Fox\, Stand-up Poet \n“A unique and passionately inclusive voice guides us with incredible skill and dexterity through everything that unites us: love\, loss\, and drunk conversations. This book is a brutally affectionate hug and a call to arms for all the losers\, freaks\, and feral lost souls of the world.” – Steve Nash\, Saboteur Awards Performer of the Year

SUMMARY:Call And Response Performance
DESCRIPTION:In August 2016 artist Najia Bagi began a project where she received weekly letters from three people\, connecting her to the transition that each person was experiencing as a single person who was looking for love. On 3rd March 2017 Najia then performed at HOME with the Sacred Sounds Women’s Choir and Ruby Ann Patterson to bring these letters to life. We invite you to join Najia for a chance to read these letters\, and reply in your own words. Najia will also perform readings of the letters she received\, and will present snippets of music from the project so far. \nCall and Response is part of the Move Me project which is funded by Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts\, and supported by HOME and Manchester Jazz Festival. \nNo need to book\, all welcome

SUMMARY:ArchivesMoved
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is based on a project that brought together young dancers and actors from Manchester and the North West in an exciting exploration of historical Manchester. By using archive photographs\, artefacts and music as far back as the 1800s and merging them with modern photography\, it allows audiences to experience a new outlook on Manchester’s past and present. \nThe process began by gathering the most interesting and thought provoking images in the archive collection. It was important to capture the diversity of Manchester and to recognise its industrial roots. Through the timeline of archives\, what stood out the most was how well images and sounds were able to capture a general sentiment and mood of that period: whether that was the melancholic industrial environment; the strong community settings at Hulme Carnival or the vibrant summer months in Piccadilly Gardens. \nOnce images were collected\, they became a stimulus for the movement and emotion of the dancers. Characters and certain personas formed by imitating the expressions on the people’s faces in the images. Actors listened to sound archives and their responses were filmed. Mood and feelings of certain images were embodied through shape and movement. \nUsing editing software the modern photos were merged with the original archives\, resulting in this exhibition. A map of Manchester in the exhibition shows the forever expanding history of arts in the city. \nArchivesMoved was supported by Archives+ and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund
