Dance:Sampled
Dance:Sampled, the touring arm of Sadler’s Wells Sampled festival, will go to The Lowry on Saturday 17 February with two performances at 2pm and 8pm.
Supported by The Movement this year’s Sampled: Dance celebrates both established and up-coming UK artists and companies. The day will include performances from Uchenna Dance who will perform a bigger and bolder extract reworking of the show The Head Wrap Diaries which toured small to mid-scale venues in the UK last autumn.
The performance, inspired by The Head Wrap Diaries (touring March-July 2018), focuses on three things; Women, Elegance and Power, in an uplifting blend of club styles House Dance, Waacking and Vogue fused with African and Contemporary Dance. With support from The Movement the piece has been re-worked for a larger stage.
