Young Amici
was founded in 2016 to share Amici Dance Theatre Company’s inclusive methods and ethos to
the younger community - the need to share and acknowledge each other's abilities, whether disabled or not.
At the weekly classes, Young Amici, learn
contemporary dance technique and improvisation, meet other young dancers and create new work.
It also
provides personal mentorship for university students to develop their own choreographic and leadership
skills.
Young Amici have performed at venues in London and are regularly being commissioned to create new
choreographic work.
Here are just some of the exciting things they've done...
Since 2020, Young Amici has been running a free annual Summer
School.
The week is a unique opportunity to take part in workshops in a variety of art
forms, including Ballet, Feldenkrais, Drama, Breathwork and more – all led by
industry leading professionals. At the end of the week, there is a final
sharing to friends and family.
In March 2022, The LEVEL Centre provided the company with
a residency to explore ideas for the creation of a new piece in their
Derbyshire venue. We met online and in person with
different voices to talk and move, exploring connections and remote
collaboration.
In the summer of 2022 the choreography from the residency was performaed by Young Amici in the Lyric Studio Theatre as part of the JOY Festival.
