Community group 

launches campaign 

to 

bring £50,000 dance

project to 

Lincolnshire

Dance Factor Lincolnshire is one of only six groups in the ITV South Yorkshire Region which have been shortlisted to battle for the public vote and £50,000 worth of lottery funding from ITV’s The People’s Millions TV Competition. 

The project, which is a partnership project led by community group InspireDance, will make a bid for viewers support to win the cash prize with the public voting by phone to decide who wins the funding.  On Monday 24^th November Dance Factor Lincolnshire will be profiled on the ITV South Yorkshire evening news (Calendar) and will compete head to head against another regional project, with the project with most votes winning the £50,000.

The Peoples Millions funding would enable Dance Factor to span across seven districts of Lincolnshire and engage in excess of 750 young people in dance. The project takes dance into local communities, providing 11-18 years olds with free evening street dance sessions which culminate in a Grand Final showcase event.

Project partners are artsNK, Transported, City of Lincoln Council, Boston Borough Council, South Holland District Council, North Kesteven District Council, North Hykeham Town Council, Positive Futures, Sportivate, Leisure in the Community, and 1Life.

Alice Carter, committee member of Inspire Dance said ‘Dance Factor gives young people the opportunity to access dance on their doorstep. Sessions are held in locations where young people may live in deprivation, with high instances of anti-social behaviour; or where young people face isolation and potential loneliness. The funding will therefore enable young people to engage in a positive activity, get active, make new friends, and take pride in representing their local area.’

InspireDance have from now until Monday 24^th November to raise public awareness of the campaign and encourage people to vote for the Dance Factor project.

InspireDance is back!

 By Holly Arnold – Community Dance Artist, artsNK and Lead Practitioner for InspireDance

 

Well what a busy start back to InspireDance! It’s only the end of week one in term one and we are busier than ever! Lots of new topics to explore and young people to meet!

 

I began my week on Monday at Redwood Primary School teaching 3 classes looking at the Romans for Years 4, 5, 6 and then looking at Princes, Peasants and Pestilence. All groups worked extremely hard on their topics and started to develop their skills in dance.

 

Onto Wednesday and I travelled to Grantham to teach at Ropsley Primary schoolintroducing them to the topic of World War 2. The year 5/6 children knew a lot about the war (even though they had only been doing it for a day!) and use this information to help influence their movements.

 

On Thursday I went back to The Meadows Primary School (having taught their Key Stage 1 classes before the summer) and had very enjoyable time of teaching 3 Key Stage 2 classes with the topic of the Vikings! Lots of strong freeze frames were created to demonstrate different parts of the Viking history.

 

It’s Friday! Last day for InspireDance this week and I've spent the whole day at South Hykeham Primary School teaching every year group in the school! Working with Years 3/4/5 & 6 on their topic of Egypt, Year 1/2's exploring magical mysteries and looking at 'Ourselves' with Reception! A fantastic day with lovely young people working extremely hard! A great end to the week!

James and Emma from the team have also been to some schools for InspireDance such as; Redwood, Ropsley, Welbourn and Gonerby Hill Foot Primary! 

InspireDance is bigger and better than ever! If you want to find out more information about how your Primary or Secondary School can get involved please contact Alice Carter; alice.carter@litc.org.uk  

 

European Aerial Dance Festival 2014 – Brighton Dome/Corn Exchange

Read about James' time at the European Aerial Dance Festival this summer:

 

I was very fortunate enough to be granted the opportunity to attend the EADF this year in Brighton. I arrived on Sunday 3^rd August to the glorious seaside city and checked myself in to the hotel, breathed in the glorious sea air, admired the beautiful views and prepared my mind and body for the very demanding, challenging and thrilling week ahead. I attended the festival from Monday 4^th – Friday 8^th August with a 9:00am start – 7:00pm finish each day – I know… a whole week of aerial classes and training… I must have been mad! Nevertheless it proved to be one of the most enriching, rewarding, and outstanding experiences of both my professional and personal life, such a revelation!

The festival featured an array of classes for which the person attending could choose according to their ability and personal preference/strengths. Classes such as Trapeze, Silks, Counterweight Harness and Vertical Dance etc. were just a handful to choose from. However I decided to opt for Cocoon and Play, Trapeze, Counterweight Harness, Counterbalance and Partnering Work along with a Warm Up which consisted of dance and a cool down of Contact Improvisation. I was in paradise.

Every morning would begin with your chosen warm up, in this case mine was Dance. A very polite, calm French young woman called Magalie delivered dance routines, stretch exercises and allowed us to focus on the flow, execution and freedom of the dance. It was so exhilarating to begin the day with a fresh, innovative dance class and really prepared my body for the day ahead and the days that followed. Moving on to my first class (Cocoon & Play) kindly lead by two aerial artists and performers from the beautifully intrinsic Fidget Feet Aerial Company based in Ireland. I of course learnt new tricks, found interesting ways to get into the cocoon but the thing that really changed my perspective was how driven they were to ensure we were following their instructions and focused on executing the tasks properly, safely and with the right technique. It really did open my eyes to the way I view aerial work and in particular made me find an even bigger passion for aerial dance. They taught us to be creative, explore and most importantly enjoy every second of being in the air, dancing and using the equipment.

And so after a quick break it was on to my next workshop – Counterweight Harness. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this particular piece of aerial equipment it basically consists of one person wearing a harness to which they secure themselves either side of their hips to a solid metal bar above their heads (a flyer) which is kept elevated by another person in a harness on a ladder who acts as their counterweight. More simply if I were the counterweight and were to climb down then the flyer would be lifted up. My first experience of this workshop was truly amazing. Strapped into the harness and slightly elevated in the air meant I could tackle rotations, forward balances and spins. For someone who suffers from motion sickness it wasn’t the greatest of things to be doing, I did however have a very enjoyable but sickly experience. As the week went on I decided to avoid the spinning and instead acted as the counterweight. Full attention, precision and clear communication were all needed by both the flyer and counterweight to ensure no one injured themselves. It was a completely new aerial experience for me and one that I thoroughly enjoyed, I would definitely attend further classes/workshops.

My final aerial workshop was the Trapeze. This was a piece of equipment which I have had experience as well as having the same principle knowledge of the hoop so I wasn’t too apprehensive when using it. Serenity Smith-Fortune who delivered the class was an American born aerial extreme enthusiast who along with her twin sister help found a circus school/university in the States. The one thing I really admired about Serenity’s guidance was her patience, and attention to detail. She would divide her tie equally with participants and ensure everyone was working to a comfortable level. She challenged us with difficult moves and allowed us each day to work towards improving and adding to a sequence. Trapeze I felt combined my experience of the silks and hoop. Having the ropes which could be manipulated, used to climb and slide down etc. as well as having the solid structure and support of the bar made way for interesting and exciting stances, poses and continual movements.
 
Attending the festival and participating in all of the classes was at times very frustrating by not being able to execute a specific move or losing grip, becoming fatigue and wanting to give up but having the encouragement of the artists and participants around you gave you the rush to carry on and try and try again. I learnt a tremendous amount not just about being an aerialist but what it can offer, how much more an aerial piece of work can be viewed if you truly embody the piece of equipment, how you interact with it and respond to unexpected incidents. Taken part in and viewing aerial work is mind-blowing, exciting and complex. It is different and is vastly becoming more and more popular in Britain. I will continue along with the other artsNK Dance Team Members to push and inspire and reveal aerial dance capabilities but please if you haven’t experienced any such thing then I beg you… please do, you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you to artsNK for agreeing to let me go. Hopefully I or the other dance team members will be attending next year. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Amy's Edinburgh Experience

So Amy travelled to Scotland for the third consecutive year this August. She spent three days at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where she encountered shows ranging from physical theatre, contemporary dance, circus, body percussion and cabaret..... Here is what she thought.....

Friday started off with Pants Down Circus with their ROCK circus show. Presented in the Assembly Palazzo Spiegeltent, which is in essence an intimate space, theatre in the round with no where for the performers to hide. I was impressed by the performers energy, commitment and enjoyment. They all looked comfortable on stage and as if it was just so much fun t be performing tricks and performing for the audience. As far as circus tricks go- the final trapeze act was impressive- a doubles acts which certainly made a few jaws drop! I also liked the more traditional circus arts coming out- it was nice to see juggling and clowning too. Overall an excellent way to start my Fringe experience for 2014! 

Next up was Australian circus ensemble Circa with their show Beyond. Well, what can I say?! This show was unusually mind-blowing, due to its weird subject content. "Beyond" meaning exploring what's its like to go beyond the norm and beyond the body..... They certainly achieved that! Memorable moments were the super strong yet ever-so-bendy straps artist and quick paced and tense chinese pole group section. Madness! I left this show a little perplexed with its obscure nature but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed it. Lyn Gardner ably reviews the show for The Guardian here:- http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/aug/22/edinburgh-festival-2014-review-circa-beyond  

I went on to see Be-Dom, a Portuguese drumming act, whom much like Stomp, banged lots of things including their own bodies. I particularly enjoyed the body percussion section of the show- which was family fun and entertaining but for me- I would have liked to have seen more movement. At face value, it was enjoyable but the set (various instruments made from pieces of junk) could have done more. See the video above for a short taste.

Onwards, I then saw a show that, by far, was my pick of the Fringe this year. There is only one word to describe it and that it PHENOMENAL. A Simple Space, presented by yet another Australian act, Gravity and Other Myths, well and truly defies any words to sum it up. Here is what their website says about the work:-

Seven acrobats push their physical limits without reserve; this performance is simultaneously raw, frantic and delicate. Supported by driving live percussion and presented so intimately that you can feel the heat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every moment.

“Be prepared to have your breath taken away”

- Three Weeks

A Simple Space evokes real responses in audiences, something visceral rather than cerebral. Instead of fine-tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast have deliberately gone the opposite way. The audience is brought in close to surround the stripped back stage. In that space the acrobats are pushed to the physical limit, breaking down their usual guards and introducing the reality of failure and weakness. With nothing left to hide behind personal narratives come through naturally. This honesty is the essence behind A Simple Space.

“Stripped back and raw… an awe-inspiring display of strength, skill and creativity.”

 – The Advertiser

I would agree with this 100%. This is by far and a way, the best piece of circus I have ever seen. Instead of me rambling on about it, here is the video which doesn't really sell the true worth of the piece, have a watch. It was intimate, fun, unnerving and so simple it was beautiful. 

http://vimeo.com/91628782 

From then on, everything was compared to A Simple Space, which to be fair, nothing was going to come close! HOWEVER, I then saw No Fit State Circus in their own Big Top. For the second year in a row, I watched BIANCO. I wasn't disappointed. This year, it was back, better than last year and even more jaw-dropping. 

Watch a clip here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw-_y9Mf5no this show isn't for the faint hearted, with stunning trapeze, cloud swing, corde lisse and straps (loved watching Lincolnshire's very own August Dakteris), it was a real feast!

There were other notable shows, including Bromance presented by Barely Methodical Troupe as well as some hip hop and some contemporary dance. Too many more to review here. I would highly recommend anyone going to the Festival Fringe, it's one of those things everyone MUST do at least once in their life. Until next time.....

Lincoln Dances Festival 2014

Lincoln Dances 2014 – Market Square

Saturday 19^th July 2014 

As part of the Lincoln Dances Festival this year, the Market Square in Lincoln City Centre was brimming with outdoor dancing talent from various dance schools, companies and groups from around Lincolnshire. This included a variety of styles from Bollywood, Breaking, Hip-Hop, Commercial, Contemporary and Zumba!

From the dance team, Holly, James and Amy O brought various groups from the artsNK Youth Dance Programme to perform in the Market Square. Regardless of the weather all groups performed fantastically, including redXco, Jumpstart Break Dance Company and kNacKer’d Youth Dance Company.

Why not take a look at the fabulous photos that were taken throughout the day from the Lincoln Dances 2014 Facebook album J

Another year has ended...

A big thank you!To all of artsNK Dance team's partners, sponsors, friends, parents, participants, associate artists and the like- this year has been even better as we continue to grow and develop dance in Lincolnshire!

An end note from the team....

Alice

This has been Alice's first full year with the artsNK dance team and it has been one of new experiences and achievements. The InspireDance education programme has been successfully delivered in twelve schools, with highlights including pupils using dance to explore mathematical concepts and then being given the opportunity to perform their pieces at the Guildhall Arts Centre in Grantham. Alice has been proud to be a part of the high number of performance opportunities the dance team have provided for young people this year including projects such as Dance Factor and True Motion, and was recognised as a U.Dance Champion by Youth Dance England for the number of events she registered on behalf of the team. As the only non dancer in the team Alice has also enjoyed being able to develop her own dance skills by performing in two fitness based flash mobs the team performed in Lincoln high street and Sleaford town centre, as well as beginning to train on the team's aerial dance rig - the rest of the team better watch their backs! :)

Amy O

Amy has not only been teaching as part of the dance team but has been in the office working on all things social media from the facebook, twittter, blog and video promotions. Amy has thoroughly enjoyed teaching and working on the variety of projects over the year. Highlights including winning 2nd place with "Respect your Elders" in Dance Factor 2014 and working with a variety of Primary Schools from around the county to take part in the Spring and Summer Primary Dance Festivals. Amy is looking forward to developing her skills on the aerial silks, furthering her dance training with Vitality over 60's, and starting up various youth dance companies around local schools to perform and compete at Unite the Scene and True Motion. Another busy year is ahead and she can't wait to get stuck in!

Holly

This year Holly has taken on her new role as lead practitioner for the educational programme, InspireDance. Within in this role Holly has travelled the county to deliver dance sessions on a variety of topics/themes and also delivered the ‘On with the Dance’ teacher training to many Primary School teachers. Although she has been spending a lot of time away from the rest of the team Holly has thoroughly enjoyed working in new schools, meeting new young people and building new relationships in schools.

Holly’s most highlighted moment of working within the InspireDance Programme was challenging herself to begin to work with children with disabilities. Holly went to St Francis Specialist School, where she immediately fell in love with the children. Holly is hoping to continue to develop her relationship with St Francis and help to deliver more dance in their school. Holly is also aiming to deliver dance in more specialist schools starting in September.

This year for Lincolnshire's U.Dance County Platform, True Motion, Holly felt very proud of her group kNacKer’d Youth Dance Company, feeling that this was their best piece yet. Holly worked closely with a multimedia team, Blue Print to create a piece using projection called Gosuto. All of the dancers stepped up to the mark on the performance day and left Holly an emotional wreck side stage! Holly is now looking for inspiration for the next piece, which the group will start to work on in September.

Also, this year Holly has been excited by the development of the Aerial Dance Programme, which is now in full swing. Being able to train on the rig and teach has been a challenge, however a highlight for her. In June, Holly found herself flying to Ireland again to undergo an intensive weekend at the Irish Aerial Dance Festival, training in Trapeze, Harness/Wall Running and Cocoons. Holly’s keeping her fingers crossed for hoping to go for longer next year!

Holly continues to love working for artsNK and is looking forward to what her fourth year has to hold!

Emma

It has been another busy and exciting year for the dance team with lots of new developments to projects and programmes.  Emma has enjoyed stepping into the new role of overseeing the Youth Dance Programme, and is really pleased with the amount of new people we have had starting in the classes.

James

Having only started in January and reaching July for many can be viewed as a short amount of time however, James have had the pleasure of working at many fantastic events, attending truly inspirational performances and teaching an array of creative young and dynamic children ranging from Nursery, Reception, Primary and Secondary. Managing the Summer Primary Dance Festival meant adopting to new styles of working - liaising with staff and teachers, creating a programme and coordinating/structuring two live performances. Overall it was very challenging but he thoroughly enjoyed stepping into unfamiliar territory and finding ways to try and resolve any problems he had. " It has been such a pleasure working together with the Jumpstart boys to create new material and even watching them perform at live events. I can't help but feel proud of how they really work as a team and look out for each other's best interests. I've challenged them and pushed them into becoming not only better as a unit but as individuals. I hope they continue to work hard and inspire young men around them who wish to dance. 

Working for artsNK has proved to be very rewarding, it is an organisation that really promotes the idea of putting the people first and giving young children/adults and people of all walks of life an opportunity to engage and simply try something new. Coming to work and being part of such a fantastic team that strive to work together with relentless energy and enthusiasm has been such a joy, I'm glad to have become a part of it. Bring on the next academic year!"

Amy D 

This academic year has been as busy as ever, keeping the team and I well and truly on our toes! We continue to build our programme and reputation for delivering high quality dance opportunities to everyone in Lincolnshire and, this year has seen some very exciting developments. Back in October, we held our bi-annual arts festival in Sleaford; namely Zygote, which featured our newly purchased aerial rig! Since then, we have built a programme of aerial dance featuring classes for children, young people and adults as well as specialist masterclasses and workshops. The rig is temporarily based at North Kesteven Centre until December 2014, where after we will find a permanent home for it. I am delighted that it has grown into part of the dance programme and has significant interest- and so it should- it’s spectacular!

In January, the team welcomed James as a new full-time member of staff in order for help us to deliver our new education offer to all schools in the county; InspireDance. James has proven to be a real asset, working to empower boys in dance as well as inspiring many, many youngsters in his short time with us. Holly has since become lead practitioner on the InspireDance programme; initiating partnerships and relationships with many, many schools in the county. Later in the year we lost Michaela our social media assistant and this saw Amy O take over and have much more input into the team’s daily social media activities. Amy O continues to teach for us and will be leading on some exciting new schools youth dance company developments from September onwards. Emma continues to lead on the Youth Dance Programme and has exciting things planned for 2015, watch this space! And finally, without Alice, the team would fall apart, she is the central core of keeping things ticking over.

The dance team make me very proud as Holly, Emma, Alice, James and Amy’s continual hard work, dedication, enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment to changing people’s lives through dance is second to none. As the only dance development team left in probably the rest of England (which is managed by a local authority), we are honoured to be continuing our work, developing new projects, programmes, classes and inspiring so many young people.

Thank you for your support and bring on 2014-2015!

Work Experience!

Over the past week Jack Steele and Emily Rance from the North Kesteven School have been shadowing and assisting our Community Dance Artist Holly Arnold.

Here is a summary of what they have been up to and what they have enjoyed:

The past week I have spent on work experience at artsNK. I have really enjoyed my time and I am now 100% sure that I am going to pursue a career in dance. I have really enjoyed interacting with the children and giving them some inspiration to dance. Seeing them smile is an amazing feeling. Holly and the team have really opened my eyes to the working world and made me realise that it is tiring. However, if you’re doing a job you love then it’s worth every single second of your time.

Jack Steele, North Kesteven School Year 10.

This week I have been assisting Holly teach different classes. Most have been in different Primary Schools but I have also helped with the youth groups. We have travelled to a lot of different places over Lincolnshire, some quite far away. I have liked it because I now know what it is like to teach different people in different places everyday and how challenging it is. It has also been fun helping the younger people when they have been set small tasks because I enjoy talking to them and finding out why they like dancing.

Emily Rance, North Kesteven School Year 10.

This week I have had the pleasure of Jack and Emily assisting me every day. They have both showed a great level on interest and enthusiasm towards the job. They have also been willing to help and get involved in a variety of different situations throughout the week. I don’t think they realised just how much we do on a day to day basis, however I believe it has been a good and beneficial eye opener for the both of them. They have been great assistance and I wish them all the luck and best wishes for their own personal journeys into their career paths.

Holly Arnold, Community Dance Artist at artsNK

Primary School Festival 22/05/14 @ Terry O’ Toole Theatre

The summer edition of the Primary Festival hosted four Primary Schools; Coleby Church of England Primary School, Skellingthorpe St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, The Meadows Primary School and Thorpe on the Hill - St Michael’s Church of England Primary School who all worked hard over the past six weeks to produce a dance piece focusing on the theme of ‘transitions to Secondary School’. When creating their pieces they explored themes expressing and exploring the emotions linked to this change. The show also featured three performances from North Kesteven School including an all-male company formed by several Year 7-10 boys, a piece by Year 8 and 9 girls and finally a BTEC group of students.

I, Sophie Watkinson and Amy O’ Sullivan worked with the four Primary Schools allowing the children to explore different areas, feelings and ideas associated with the theme of transition into Secondary School. We felt it was important for the children not only to learn, create and adapt movement but to also offer the opportunity to express just how they really feel about embarking on a new and exciting chapter of their lives.

Some of the children, who have never had any previous dance or performance experience, responded well to the duration of the project – the children learnt basic movement styles, developed their own group sections and some even managed to produce lifts and execute tricks. The children were introduced to the marvel of working through a technical rehearsal and were able to witness the same process with the other Primary Schools and the groups from NK School. Workshops kindly organized by NK School and it’s staff were also provided for the children in order to grasp a sense of what subjects they will expect to learn when making the step up to Secondary School.

Two performances one at 6:00pm, the other at 7:15pm held a warm, kind and receptive audience filled with proud family members and friends who were grasped by the children’s dynamic movement capabilities. Being present backstage and having the honor of hosting both performances I could really feel the uproar and excitement coming from the children as they waited to go on stage. The audience, artsNK staff, North Kesteven School staff and spectators from the Primary Schools were all encapsulated by how the children performed. 

I would like to thank all of those who were involved with the project and supported me throughout. It was a delight to see the children performing and gain a sense of achievement. For them to watch groups who have had success at a Secondary School, to be given the chance to create a dance piece from scratch and to perform it live in front of an audience I believe took a lot of dedication and self-belief. I applaud the Primary Schools for making the decision to allow their pupils the chance to exceed and try something new and to the children for performing with energy, charisma and passion.

We shall look forward to working with some new Primary Schools for the next Festival and we hope to see you all there.
