Spring in the step of The Century Theatre with dance double bill
The Century Theatre’s spring 2012 programme leaps into action with an exciting double bill of contemporary dance presented by regional dance agency Dance4. The event on Wednesday February 8th marks the theatre’s first programme of professional dance and heralds a new partnership between the theatre and Dance4.
The evening’s programme includes Badlands by Robert Clark, a love story with cinematic references and allusions to 1950s America. Choreographer Dan Canham presents 30 Cecil Street, a tribute to a decaying and disused theatre. Call 01159410773 or visit http://ticketing.dance4.co.uk/ for tickets and further information Adults £8, under 16s £5
David Sprason, Leicestershire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Adults and Communities, said: “The new partnership with Dance4 marks an exciting new era for The Century Theatre, bringing high quality, professional cultural events to the people of Leicestershire and across the region.
“We are delighted to present the double bill on February 8th and hope it will be the beginning of an innovative and successful series of events. This is an event of the highest professional quality and we’re delighted that the regional dance agency has chosen The Century Theatre as a new venue to promote dance in the East Midlands.”
The spring season at The Century Theatre continues with a rip roaring tribute to Bon Jovi as Bon Jovi UK take to the stage with all the exuberance of the long haired eighties rockers on Saturday 18th February. Tickets Advance £13 door £15
Then on February 24th The Century Theatre celebrates Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month with ‘Pants and Politics’, a talk on Snibston’s Support and Seduction exhibition and screening in the theatre of Milk, the 2008 biopic of gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk.

Background information:
Snibston is the home of the Century Theatre which is the largest item in Leicestershire County Council’s museum collections. Built between 1948 and 1952, it was used as a travelling theatre until 1974. Its innovative structure provides an auditorium for 200 people and a full-size stage, yet it can still be packed away into four articulated lorry trailers!
