The Grand in Blackpool hosts a triple bill of contemporary dance work presented by 12 Degrees North on Wednesday November 7.

This programme includes Article 1, a new work by Alesandra Seutin for 12 dancers. With her vision of fusing African traditional dance with contemporary dance and urban forms, the internationally-acclaimed choreographer creates distinct Afro-pean dance theatre from a feminine perspective.

In contrast, acclaimed British talent Gary Clarke works with seven dancers, combining daring physical theatre with quirky and visually striking choreography.

Finally Antonia Grove, Critics Choice Award winner and artistic director of PROBE, creates a dance for five, utilising the skills and individual qualities of the performers.
