” COMPROMISE “

Back to the Lab, Sadlers Wells (Lilian Baylis)

Choreography: Viki Čerček, Mark “Brui5er” Sheats
Music: Ffion Campbell Davies
Dancers: Viki Čerček, Mark “Brui5er” Sheats

A call for a more empathic society that is accepting of each other, regardless of our differences. As we overcome indoctrinated polarisation we arrive to recognition of the true value within ourselves and one another. The journey through internal and external conflicts bridges the gap between where we are and what we are becoming. COMPROMISE centralises Krump as a contemporary form and pains an experience of intimate breakthroughs.

” LEADS: Nature VS Culture “

Resolutions, The Place Theatre
Open Art Surgery, Sadlers Wells (Lilian Baylis)
 

Choreography: Viki Čerček
Music: William Legares
Dancers: Elsabet Yonas, Sasha Shadid, Viki Čerček

The inspiration for making LEADS “Nature VS Culture” came from personal experience of the imbalanced internal and external environment, looking at the friction within the influences of human experience and what is innate. It consists of refined original instrumental music and a blend of theatre-influenced hip-hop and contemporary choreography that allows an emotionally charged performance. The work originally features a live EWI performer William Legares, and three distinct characters who move within the same realm. LEADS has been performed at Resolution Festival at The Place Theatre, and after a part of it was developed for Open Art Surgery, Breakin Conention at Sadlers Wells.

” FIVE SHEETS “

LIVEVIBE, The Place Theatre

Choreography: Viki Čerček
Music: William Legares

Work commissioned by LIVEVIBE, a performance platform created by Hakeem Onibudo. The night was themed “Two’s A Company” and although Viki originally planned to perform a duet she took the stage as a soloist due to last-minute changes. The piece showcases one’s double-sided relationship with themselves and how facing a supposedly blank page can have a variety of emotional outcomes. Through a variety of musical changes, the dancer navigates herself through five different reactions and looks at the audience as a mirror. They are a focal point that allows the dancer to merge those opposing inner forces into a single stream of released personal energy.

” Artists4Artists: JUXTA “

RichMix

Curated, Choreographed and Performed by: Viki Čerček, Bismark Annobah, Elsabet Yonas, Jonadette Carpio, Sasha Shadid
Production: Artists4Artists
Music: Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante

Juxta explores the influences we encounter on our journeys and our connection to home. Where have you come from? What baggage are you bringing with you? Where are you going?

Five versatile choreographers come together to collaborate and perform in this piece supported by Artists 4 Artists. Using theatre, spoken word and movement to bring the narrative to life – Juxta is a multilayered work exploring both actual and metaphorical journeys. It paints a world of a vivid contest between internal and external conflicts on a passage to consciousness. Hip Hop, Contemporary and Krump are just a few of the many tools used to tell this story.

Working closely with Gsus Villau, director of On Dance Studios in Sevilla, Viki brought together Spanish and British dancers to create a 20 min dance work in less than 4 days. Through tribal aesthetics, this work weaves aspects of the masculine and feminine principles into individual stories. They speak of inner chaos, finding strength in vulnerability and the process of coming together as a collective.
