Tel Aviv-based Batsheva Ensemble this month make their way to the Midlands as part of an extensive UK debut tour. The Ensemble is the junior<br />
branch of Israel’s world-renowned contemporary dance group Batsheva Dance - a company consisting of more than three hundred international<br />
dancers recruited from some of the world’s most prestigious dance schools. Led by artistic director Ohad Naharin, the Ensemble here<br />
perform Deca Dance - a production which brings together memorable segments from the choreographer’s past twenty years. Performed to an<br />
eclectic mix of music - from Vivaldi to Dean Martin and The Beach Boys - this much-produced and critically acclaimed piece is constantly<br />
updated to ensure each performance is given a fresh look.<br />

Sat 17 <strong>Nov</strong>ember<br />
Fusing two worlds at different ends of the spectrum, The Lock In<br />
sees some of the UK’s oldest dance forms brought ‘bang up to<br />
date’. The brainchild of award-winning folk band The Demon<br />
Barbers, this cross-genre performance commences with a group of<br />
street dancers arriving at an apparently deserted pub.<br />
Soon, the more traditional regulars<br />
arrive, and the ultimate in<br />
dance stand-offs<br />
ensues. Expect<br />
sword dances performed<br />
with<br />
snooker<br />
cues, pub<br />
bouncers<br />
dancing the<br />
Morris and<br />
B-boys flirting<br />
with<br />
clog girls...<br />
