The Black Album is a triple-bill in which three distinctly different hip-hop choreographies are woven together like a concept album. In ‘Omega’ five dancers and five columns of light will improvise and respond to experimental DJ Jazzanova. ‘Classical Break’ will present a humorous and cheeky partnership between breakdance and the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Prokofiev.
The language of breaking and the detailed choreography accentuate the orchestral score resulting in a number of magical musical moments. ‘Dark Matter’ would be abstract and visually captivating, and would unleash the inner darkness of eight dancers.
Mei-kwei Barker, director, British Council (south India), said, “Impulse 2, the new season of UK contemporary dance, has been a phenomenal success. And now, Avant Garde Dance, the finale Impulse Season 2 performance showcases hip-hop and contemporary dance. Our aim is to help showcase exciting new work in the arts, facilitate collaborations, promote arts education, encourage cultural skills development and convene valuable forums for artists, directors, producers, festival organisers and arts managers from India and the UK to engage in mutually beneficial projects.”
The dance show will begin at 7 pm at Shilpa Kala Vedika. Passes can be availed at the British Council, Secretariat Road; The Park, Hyderabad; and STEPS Dance Studio.
