The Surge: An ode to award winning Sinead O’Connor.

The Surge: An ode to award winning Sinead O’Connor.

This brand new dance work is set to the music of Sinéad O'Connor and is a mediation on voice, protest and the courage to live a life that defies the norm performed by a company of 10 women. Presented in partnership with The Joyce Theater and Factory International, O’Connor’s voice guides us through the work, via her iconic music and narration from her memoir Remembering’s with Tayeh’s powerfully choreography performed by 10 women - 10 dance artists cutting through the notion of age as something to fear. These women total more than five hundred years of collective wisdom – affirming the passing of time as a privilege that carries beauty and experience with it. The Surge is conceived, choreographed and directed by Sonya Tayeh – a creative visionary whose work relating to the body in motion explores many different worlds. An internationally celebrated artist, she is the dance backbone behind numerous stage and screen projects, most notably Moulin Rouge: The Musical!, for which she won the Tony Award for outstanding choreography.

This week on Your Manchester, hosts Mark Llewellyn and Belinda Scandal bring you another lively episode packed with culture, conversation and some fascinating guests. We’re joined by cabaret star Paulus ahead of his upcoming show Looking For Me Friend, a joyful tribute to the music and comedy of the legendary Victoria Wood. Paulus tells us about bringing the much-loved songs and humour to audiences and why the show continues to resonate with fans across the UK. The team also chats with the iconic Manchester arts venue HOME Manchester about their exciting upcoming programme of theatre, film and visual art events coming to the city. Plus, we celebrate 25 years of Ballet Black with an interview with founder and artistic director Cassa Pancho, discussing the company’s groundbreaking impact on ballet and its continuing mission to bring greater diversity to the art form.  And in a rare and fascinating discussion, the show takes a closer look inside the manosphere, exploring the online movement and the conversations surrounding it. Expect laughs, insight, and a little bit of chaos — only on Your Manchester.
