New Work


A culmination of Francisco’s five week residency at Laban, working with Year 3 performance students. Although barely 40, Camacho is one of the elder-statesmen of Portuguese dance. He began his career as a dancer in 1984 with the Balled Gulbenkian, and then studied with Merce Cunningham, Chris Komar and Jennifer Muller. The performance is an opportunity to see emerging young dancers nurtured and inspired by this leading choreographer.

Private Dancer
 

Presented for the first time in the UK, the highly acclaimed Private Dancer (Danças Privadas) is Portuguese dance at its best – daring, irreverent and sexually charged. In this piece you are invited to book an appointment for a given time, when Francisco will create an original dance for you and you alone. When making the appointment, you (the client) can select the costume he will wear and the music he will dance to. Your ticket includes a ‘commission fee’ according to the length of dance that Francisco will create for you. As you commissioned and helped create the work, after the performance you will receive a co-production certificate. As the dance is created according to each individual, there is no age restriction for the audience.

Private Dancer questions the role of the artist, audience and producer and the relationships between them. If you want to attend, buy your ticket quickly – some tickets and commissions for Private Dancer will be auctioned on eBay.
