São Paulo Dance Company is at the forefront of the South American contemporary dance scene and is coming to Bradford on 8th and 9th March. The
company’s virtuoso dancers pair a ferocious contemporary technique with the rhythmic physicality of Latin
American dance. This spring sees the company’s UK and Irish debut with a rich and varied programme of
work from three choreographers rooted in Latin American or Spanish culture.

For this first UK and Irish tour, the company is presenting a thrilling programme of three boldly contemporary
works, two from 2019 created especially for them and a much-loved revival from 2009.

The epic and emotionally-charged Anthem was created in 2019 by Spain’s Goyo Montero, resident
choreographer with Cuba’s Acosta Danza, for an ensemble of 14 dancers.

Spanish choreograher Nacho Duato, draws on the Mediterranean colours and flavours of Valencia for a dancework  Gnawa powered by the hypnotic

Brazilian choreographer Cassi Abranches’ colourful and flirtatious Agora provides an exhilarating finale.
Exploring time and rhythm, she sculpts the movement of each dancer’s
body to the percussive beats and bass grooves of Sebastian Piracés’ score, mixing drums and Afro-Brazilian
percussion with rock music and vocals.
