Déda and Derbyshire Dance Artists Network are offering a unique performance opportunity.

Dance Artists from Derbyshire Dance Artists' Network are invited to a residency with leading dance company Retina to take part in the company’s professional performance of Layers of Skin alongside the company’s dancers at Déda on Saturday 25 February at 8pm.

The three-day residency takes place at Déda from Thursday 16-Saturday 18 February 10am – 5pm. Dance Artists will learn choreography from the company’s repertoire and also have the opportunity to perform their own created material.

Layers of Skin is a multi-layered performance with bold choreography created by Filip Van Huffel.

Layers of Skin plays with the idea of hiding. Three layers of skin hide our bones, organs and muscles. It hides who we are, what we think and what we desire. The dancers will shed their layers, exposing a fast-paced and full bodied show packed with quirky intricacies and fearless physical choreography. View a trailer of the show here.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take part in a professional performance and Dance Artists must be able to commit to all three days of the residency, a technical rehearsal on the afternoon of Friday 24 February and the performance on Saturday 25 February. It will be an intensive and challenging experience and the opportunity to gain exceptional development.

Retina will also hold company class from 10am-11.30am on each day of the residency. These classes are open classes for Dance Artists and advanced dancers and cost just £5 – perfect if you are unable to commit to the whole residency but don’t want to miss out on this fabulous opportunity.

Cost: £50 for 3 days
Please make your own lunch arrangements. The CUBE café|bar will be serving a delicious menu of food and drink.
