The Year 1 Dance Foundation Degree students will be collaborating with Digital Media and HND Photography students for a site-specific performance called “Tunnels & Trails” at City and Islington College on at 7:00pm on Thursday 09 May. There’s no charge for admission.
This special performance is a piece that celebrates the opening of the new H.E. Hub at City and Islington College and it is combined with film and a photographic exhibition.
The piece is based on the theme of ancestors and using the idea of tunnels as a visual stimulus, the students have created a multi-media/dance performance around the courtyard of City and Islington College accompanied by live music.
After the performance, you can enjoy a glass of wine as you peruse the photographic and film material created for this project.
All in all, this should prove to be a very enjoyable way to spend a spring/summer evening and we do hope you’ll join us for “Tunnels & Trails”.

RUBBERBANDance will be performing Victor Quijada’s “Gravity of Center” at the Southbank Centre on Thursday 2 May and Friday 3 May.
Victor Quijada’s choreography blurs the boundaries between urban, contemporary and classical dance. In Gravity of Center he has succeeded in containing the ferocity of hip-hop in a perfectly refined choreographic language. The five dancers interweave, fight, crave and hustle in an astonishing fluidity of action. Between dynamic rhythms and physical prowess, the company’s unique dance vocabulary is the epicentre of this work.
The Times Union, Albany NY described the performance as:
“A gorgeous hybrid of hip-hop, contemporary dance and ballet that transcends its parts and become something entirely new.”
