Following the fantastic success of ‘Skin’ last year, ACE return to The Plough Arts Centre  with another dance masterpiece.

ACE Dance and Music combines energetic contemporary choreography with African/Caribbean movement style, rousing musical scores and mixed media techniques, including video projection, to create a truly entertaining experience. The company’s inspirational new show, which features two distinct dance pieces, is titled ‘SWITCH’ and tours the UK in October and November.  The two individual pieces are titled ‘Switch’ and ‘Listen’, both are new works by ACE’s founder co-directors, Gail and Ian Parmel on which they’ve worked with movement collaborator Andile Sotiya (‘Switch’) and fast rising choreographer Douglas Thorpe (‘Listen’). 

‘Switch’ is a pure movement piece which explores the transfer of energy from one vessel to another; set in a striking monochrome space, dancers form a circuit board, charging from a power source and passing on energy.

Both Sotiya and Thorpe are ex-Phoenix Dance Company; Thorpe recently choreographed a new piece, ‘Beast’, for the company which will tour in 2010.

‘Switch’ promises to be an exciting blend of sophisticated dance, music and visuals, accompanied by a robust and agile cast of six international and UK based dancers and a world class composer.
