Series namePresent
Description

This is an A5 flyer for ‘Improvisasians ’99’, a series of choreographic workshops implemented by Akademi in association with the South Bank Centre. The foreground depicts a dancer’s body in motion. The workshops were organised specifically for South Asian dance performers and were held in July and August 1999. Six of the world’s most renowned choreographers; Rosemary Lee, Jamie Watton, Richard Alston, Janet Smith, Shobana Jeyasingh and Peter Badejo, led practical dance sessions which provided South Asian dancers with the opportunity to explore western and eastern choreographic techniques. The workshop leaders also offered an insight into their own individual creative processes. The six workshops took place at The Hothouse at The Royal Festival Hall in London.
