Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company exists to challenge narrow perceptions of dance and, in particular, British Asian dance and identity. This is done through the creation and touring of challenging theatrical and site-specific performances and through the delivery of educational projects, workshops and resources. The work explores contemporary issues and themes that revolve around the East/West and tradition/modernity axis. A hybridisation of movement languages and other disciplines is used as a vehicle for exploration across cultures. Surface Tension was first performed in 2000. Resonating with the hybrid influences that arrange and rearrange the dancing body, this dance work uses knots, glitches and contrasts to create a surface that is both energetic and reflective. This comprehensive education resource includes detailed insight into the processes of performance, collaboration and choreography of the piece, along with a beautifully filmed full-length performance. The design and production of costume, lighting and music are also explored, featuring a series of perceptive interviews with the collaborators. (Centre for Performance Research)
