With over 30 years of inclusive practice behind them, Candoco Dance Company looks to the future with In Side Out, presenting a specially curated evening of work in Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells from Wednesday 16 – Friday 18 November.

A prologue to the next chapter in Candoco’s rich history, In Side Out features the UK Premiere of two new creations by choreographer Seke Chimutengwende and choreographer Annie Hanauer.

 

Seke Chimutengwende’s In Worlds Unknown explores themes of uncertainty, navigation and survival, and the radically different ways individual people experience a collective sense of lostness. In Worlds Unknown combines intricate choreography with poetry written and performed by the company of dancers.

 

In Annie Hanauer’s soft shell, dancers slip in and out of known forms, shape shifting as they embody different ways of being. A work that plays with seeing and being seen, soft shell is a glance at something which lies beneath the surface and a celebration of the unseen elements in us all.  

 

On Wednesday 16 November, the programme features Object Permanence, by dance artist and Candoco’s Independent Researcher, Kat Hawkins. Building a landscape of crispness and an intimate relationship between the disabled body and assistive devices, the work reveals a world of joy, companionship and sensuality.

On Thursday 17 and Friday 18 November the programme includes SCÁLING by Candoco dancer Markéta Stránská in collaboration with dance artist Charlie Morrissey. Akin to climbing, the work is a functional exploration of structures in motion, veering between delicate precision and visceral physicality. 

 

Closing the programme each night in The Kahn is a new work by Candoco dancer Joel Brown, inspired by his US Mormon upbringing and the tradition of ‘Family Home Evening’ where families come together, sing, share talents, and family business.

In addition, there is an online offering including Jo Bannon’s film Feeling Thing with ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) sound, dance film Cuckoo, and more.

About Sadler’s Wells
Sadler's Wells is a world-leading dance organisation. We strive to make and share dance that inspires us all. Our acclaimed year-round programme spans dance of every kind, from contemporary to flamenco, Bollywood to ballet, salsa to street dance and tango to tap.

We commission, produce and present more dance than any other organisation in the world. Since 2005, we have helped to bring close to 200 new dance works to the stage, embracing both the popular and the unknown.

Each year, over half a million people visit our three London theatres - Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Lilian Baylis Studio and Peacock Theatre. Millions more attend our touring productions nationally and internationally or explore our digital platforms, including Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage. In 2023 we’re opening a fourth London venue in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Sadler’s Wells East will house a 550-seat mid-scale theatre, as well as facilities for the Choreographic School and Hip Hop Theatre Academy. 

Supporting artists is at the heart of our work. We have associate artists and companies, which nurture some of the most exciting talent working in dance today. We host the National Youth Dance Company, which draws together some of the brightest young dancers from across the country. Sadler’s Wells Breakin' Convention runs professional development programmes to champion and develop the world’s best hip hop artists, as well as producing, programming and touring groundbreaking hip hop performances. 

Around 30,000 people take part in our learning and engagement programmes every year. We support schools local to our theatres in Islington and Stratford, designing experiences for children and young people to watch, explore and critically engage with the arts. We also run Company of Elders, a resident performance company of dancers aged over 60 who rehearse with renowned artists to make new work for public performances locally, nationally and internationally.

Sadler’s Wells is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
