Hull UK City of Culture

Call out to Performers Workshop and Performance Opportunity Jo will be working with performers in Hull for Transgression Dance Festival. Belonging will be a pilot performance for the opening night of the festival. Jo Fong is creating a choreography for many people It’s not a dance. It’s a movement. Its not a disco. Its a way to be Together. It starts with a walk and ends in a party. The performance celebrates a sense of belonging. The work is about the wanting to take part, wanting to exchange, share, receive, learn and meet people well. This is about how we live, how open are we, how does this reflect and translate into other aspects of our lives, what are our shared histories, relationships, sense of place. Among us how can we cultivate a sense of belonging. The project notices the value of the collective or the individual, unity or choice. It invites the potential of meeting people well, being present and nurtures connection. Details and dates: 3 day devising workshop Saturday 29 April, Sunday 30 April and Bank Holiday Monday 1 May 10.30am until 5pm daily Rehearsal and Preview Event Friday 12 May 2pm until the performance time 8pm There will be a DJ set into the evening.

Play – A Dance Theatre Workshop led by Jo Fong

20 places are availableSuitable for students and professionals from dance or theatre backgrounds.

£6

Jo's working practice is an evolving, interactive and a playful approach.Play has become the very nature of how Jo approaches her body, her voice, her performance roles and her making processes. In this studio-based workshop, Jo shares the instigations and the receptive and active performance techniques that went on to become her dance theatre production, An Invitation...

The workshop takes the form of guided improvisations. Initially the warm up is about relationships with our own bodies and voices following individual and inherent desires. The process incorporates a sense of play, listening, responding and investigation that aim to develop an efficient, imaginative and dynamic approach.

Jo’s practice is influenced by her eclectic experiences in many dance and theatre performance styles. Working from the inside of the body to the outside she incorporates aspects of release, yoga, manipulation, contact and voice techniques.Jo’s new work is entitled An Invitation… the underlying motivations consider honesty in performance, the present moment and the act of creating this together.

An Invitation… First two reviews

Edinburgh Festival 14 4**** from Donald Hutera THE LIST Thea Hawlin wrote for Broadway Baby "Jo Fong’s An Invitation is about as elusive and complex as a performance at the Fringe is likely to get. This surreal ‘alive and evolving’ production presents itself to us as a framing of life itself." An Invitation... is supported by Coreo Cymru, Arts Council Wales, Sherman Cymru, Chapter Arts Centre and Welsh Dance Strand
