Yorkshire Dance

Jo Fong and George Orange will be part of Ageless Festival in Leeds this October Ageless is a 2 day festival featuring a wide range of artists, film-makers and speakers who are reimagining age through dance. Fourth in the series of our Encounters Festival, Ageless encapsulates and celebrates local, national and international work including the work that Yorkshire Dance has developed with hundreds of older people in Leeds and across Yorkshire over the last decade. Download the brochure here. The Rest of Our Lives  Created and Performed by Jo Fong and George Orange The Rest of Our Lives is an eclectic, spontaneous, predictable and random middle-aged decline. George and Jo have been pondering upon how it’s all going to go from here. Hopefully hopeful The Rest of Our Lives will probably be too long or it might be a bit sudden and far too short and the last bit is likely to be a bit crap. Time is on our side, but life is passing us by. We’re only at the beginning of the end. Created and performed by Jo Fong and George Orange Supported by the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, Fieldwork, The Place Theatre, China Plate, Chapter and Arts Council of Wales.

Welsh Takeover 2019 | Morning Class | Mon 16 -Tues 17 Sep 2019 10am -12pm More details Siobhan Davies Studios Jo Fong is an artist who lives and working in Cardiff. Her work reflects the need in these times for people to come together. Her practice has been informed by notions of inclusivity, participation and is about being present, this moment, communication, listening, face to face encounters and the idea of forming community. Jo’s working practice is an evolving, interactive and playful approach, incorporating aspects of release, yoga, contact and voice techniques. As a language she has been working on self-generating scores, simple instructions/games that play out, making connection, encouraging awareness, range, presence, multiple outcomes and simple acts like noticing.
