Adda with Scottish Dance Theatre

An adda with James MacGillivray 

(Artistic Director of Scottish Dance Theatre, Dundee) 

and company dancers

Saturday, 3 November 2012, 7pm

at the Ranan Workspace

(8 Sultan Alam Road, Calcutta - 33)

The dancers will discuss their routes into contemporary dance, and what drives them to work in the arts; how to train the body and the mind to work as a repertory dancer, and how they balance the artist/athlete divide. 

Travelling abroad as social ambassadors – how important is this to the dancer, and how is this role perceived by audiences, if at all?

All are welcome. We apologise for limited seating, and absence of parking in the premises.

For further information, please call 9830468110 / 9830015510, or email rananindia@gmail.com

In October 2010, Ranan had hosted an adda with Janet Smith - former Artistic Director of SDT - during the company's reconnoitre trip to India. That trip has now come to fruition: Scottish Dance Theatre are touring India with a series of performances, workshops, talks and more in October-November 2012. 

Ranan is delighted to welcome them back, and proud to be one of their partners and presenters in Calcutta. In addition to the adda, SDT also kick off Ranan's first SchoolConnect programme (a week-long engagement with all aspects of performance, specially designed for students) with a lecture-demonstration in La Martiniere for Boys on 1 November 2012.
