NATIONAL DANCE COMPANY OF WALES - ONE ANOTHER TOUR

CODI

Choreography Anthony Matsena

“Codi emerges from the ashes to inspire us in 2022 with a powerful and energetic story about the strength in communities banding together to tackle the hardships of life through troubled times.

Built on the foundations of Welsh mining stories told though dance, song, poetry and theatre, the audience is wrapped in a blanket of darkness before being led towards a light of hope and celebration.”

THE BIRD THAT FELL OUT OF THE SKY

Psappha; Composing for Viola | Heather Wallington | 12th July 2021.

This began as a little piece which deals with repetition and distortion, echoes, fragments as a way of reminiscing on the past year and its blurred lines of memory, history, global connections and happenings, and how we are all connected, even through the air we breathe. As for the bird, anything can fall out of the sky, but in all cases we must ask: what caused it to fall?
