Toni Jodar — Modern Dance Speaks!

Archived Show

UK PREMIERE 

Toni Jodar explains the history of dance through the medium of dance itself using a combination of performance and video clips. Audiences will be shown the evolution of the art form from classical through to contemporary as Jodar explains the different genres and forms that the body uses to express itself in movement. He will also reveal the influence and legacy of each generation on the artists that have followed, from Isadora Duncan through to the likes of Pina Bausch.

Designed to raise awareness about dance, this humorous and enlightening work was first presented a decade ago and has appeared in a wide range of venues, including schools, museums, theatres and universities.

Toni Jodar trained as a dancer in both Catalonia and New York. He belongs to a group of artists who developed Catalonia as a region famous for leading the way in contemporary dance during the 1980s. This performance is a reflection of his philosophy that dance can, and should, be open to everyone.
