The Whitworth Social Dance, Manchester, Saturday 17th May 2008.
Artist Lucienne Cole is working with
The Whitworth Art Gallery
(part of the
University of
Manchester) on a unique project examining social dance in
Manchester. The idea of the
Whitworth
Social follows a tradition of
dance hall get-togethers where people from all walks of life join in a
unifying experience. The aim is to bring people together by way of
dance and music, to participate in one dance invented in Manchester,
and gather peoples' favourite records to dance in an open floor dance
session mixing different styles of music and dance from across the
decades. Entry to The Whitworth Art Gallery is free.
The Whitworth is also looking for people with
memories of dancing in Manchester and those who currently enjoy dancing
in the city; anything from waltzing around the floor to the Phil Moss
Band, regulars from the Ritz Northern Soul all-nighters to ravers from
the Hacienda. They hope to find people who attended the first
broadcasts of Top Of The Pops in 1964 filmed in BBC studios on
Dickenson Road in Rusholme, just up the road from the Whitworth.
Lucienne Cole says, “Dance is a way of bringing
people together. It’s about sharing a common identity, bringing a
community together physically and emotionally. Above all, it’s about
letting go and enjoying yourself.”
“All you need is the space and the right soundtrack”
–
Dave Haslam.
Lucienne and her team would like to hear stories and
experiences of dancing and music in Manchester. Anyone who has a story
or would like to attend the Whitworth Social should email:
whitworth.projects@googlemail.com
or call the Gallery on 0161 275 7450.
