We now have the programme for the Dance Algarve Performances, on the evenings of Thursday April 1st and Friday April 2nd.
On Thursday the evening starts with John Mowat's interpretation of The Tempest, by William Shakespeare - a dark and magical visualisation of this famous play, demonstrating how communication can be achieved using gesticulation and mime, with very little dialogue. This is indeed the genre for which John is so well known.
It will be performed by three actors from the Chapitô Theatre in Lisbon; Jorge Cruz, Marta Cerqueira and Tiago Viegas.
Following this, the Cape Junior Ballet will dance for us - a mixed programme performed with their customary enthusiasm, energy and technical expertise. Attendees of Dance Algarve 2008 will remember the joy of their dancing and the sheer professionalism of such a young group.
Friday evening commences with two solo performances from a young Italian dancer - Maria Catarina Mambretti, from the 'enjoydance' school, Italy, directed by Cristina Zatti and Michele Vegis.
Then the Cape Junior ballet take over once more, and we will be treated to more variations from this hard working group - every student dancing will have attended classes throughout the two days, as well as performing in the evenings!
We hope you will enjoy!
