With contemporary Flamenco artist Israel Galvan performing in the festival we wanted to give you a chance to try this passionate dance style from southern Spain. The focus will be on introducing and discovering the essential elements of the art of Flamenco as it is still performed today: its improvised song, guitar and dance, all united by common rhythmic structures. Professional dancer and teacher, La Joaquina of London-based company Flamenco Express will be accompanied on guitar by Chris Mullet in this practical workshop.
Note: we advise you to wear hard soled shoes and a long skirt or trousers

Are you interested in dance and performance but feel you‚ would like to know more? Do you wonder how the work nottdance presents relates to contemporary dance and performance? Do you ever question the links with dance when there is no movement or apparent technique involved in a performance? If so, this pre-show event is for you. Come and join us for a short session devised by our associate artists. This is an opportunity to join other new and existing audience members to find out more about nottdance, experimental dance and ask an artist that burning question.
Young Choreographers Intensive
We are keen to work with local young artists in developing the next generation of choreographers in dance. In order to achieve this, we have a year round programme of work with young people. During nottdance08, Gabriele Reuter will be leading an intensive weekend to artistically support young choreographers (15-19 years) in the region. The programme, supported by Youth Dance England (YDE), takes place on the weekend of the 25 / 26 October and aims to support a selected group of young people with an interest in choreography with a view of progressing into national initiatives such as YDE‚ Young Creatives. This programme aims to give young choreographers the skills to create innovative performance work through taking part in workshops, viewing live and DVD work, and receiving feedback on their current work. During this weekend, participants will have a chance to try out their ideas with their peers and the youngest artist presenting work in nottdance08.
To express an interest in taking part or for more info on our young peoples
