New choreography inspired by contemporary Luton
Join the Movement
Is this for me?
You will need to live, learn or earn in Luton and be aged 16+ to join the movement. Some activities may be open to audiences to see work co-created by Jean and resident Lutonians (see our events / what’s happening?).
Info
In partnership with Revoluton, resident company Jean Abreu Dance invited Lutonians to create, discover and share together the movement of contemporary Luton today.
The aim of the commission was to co-create powerful new work with and for Lutonians. The ambition was to capture the movement of Luton and its people and how bodily we can translate its ephemeral beauty.
For this commission, Jean Abreu Dance focused on abstract notions about movement as a starting point:
1 Movement as a way that we connect to our bodies and the world around us.
2 The movement of all things and as a constant human condition to be moving.
3 The movement of people : The Migrant bodies and immigrant experience.
The questions guiding the project were : How a community of bodies can be individual and collective at the same time? What does our movement individually and collectively say about us?
You will need to live, learn or earn in Luton and be aged 16+ to join the movement. Some activities may be open to audiences to see work co-created by Jean and resident Lutonians (see our events / what’s happening?).
