EncoreEast - Home from Home - Experience day
Experience a day in the life of EncoreEast, Ipswich’s performance company of dancers aged 56 to 82. Work with amazing dancer and choreographer Alethia Antonia, who made EncoreEast’s contribution to Home from Home, mingle with friends and join the conversation about older dance.
EncoreEast is a performance company of older dancers. We exist to promote dance by and for older people, seeking to achieve creative, artistic and performance innovation and excellence. We create and perform in both traditional and site-specific spaces for live, screen and on-line audiences.
Aiming to make dance accessible and relevant to a wide range of people, we work to create positive perceptions of ageing. We offer work opportunities for professional artists to teach, create and exchange learning with older dancers. We promote public understanding of, and advocate for, dance through activities including workshops, creative projects, conferences, research, blogs and our website.
Home from Home is an innovative collaboration by EncoreEast whose dancers joined with dancers from Norwich, London and beyond to create a new performance under the artistic direction of renowned choreographer Luca Silvestrini (Protein Dance).
The project features dancers from EncoreEast, Cadenza, The Place Dancers and Damn Fine Dance, in collaboration with Alethia Antonia, Laura Anderson, Alleyne Dance, Molly Wright and Luke Birch, under the direction of Luca Silvestrini.
Home from Home is devised and produced by EncoreEast; supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, co-commissioned by EncoreEast, DanceEast, The Place and Norwich Theatre.
