Bawren Tavaziva’s Africarmen
is on tour, next stop Newcastle. Artistic Director and Choreographer
Tavaziva’s dance creation is of interest to Bebop Spoken Here due to the involvement of Jazz Warriors’ co-founder Fayyaz
Virgi. This touring production should be of interest regardless, but the
trombonist’s jazz credentials are the obvious attraction.
From the early days of the Jazz Warriors to Graham
Collier to Carla Bley’s Very Big Band to Jason Moran’s Big Band to Amy
Winehouse and many others, Fayyaz Virgi works across the disciplines. He has
composed and arranged the music for Africarmen
and this week the production calls at Newcastle’s Dance City for two nights.
Set in an oil-rich military dictatorship somewhere in Africa, the story follows
Carmen’s dreams of escape and a better
life.
To book your seat for Friday 12 or Saturday 13
February (or both) call Dance City on 0191 261 0505 or visit www.dancecity.com. Africarmen also visits Jersey, Doncaster, Inverness and
Musselburgh. Visit www.tavazivadance.com.
