ITZIK GALILI - Dance choreographer for Theatre Royal Newcastle’s prestigious Seconds Out project.

The Seconds Out team are pleased as punch to announce that Itzik Galili is choreographing two brand new dance works. The first is a brand new experimental dance work with five dancers from one of the most exciting dance companies in the world today, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba, who are to be joined by six amateur boxers from the Newcastle College Amateur Boxing Club.

Seconds Out 2010 will be performed at Dance City on Friday 16 July as part of an evening programme that includes a short inspirational film on boxing by Nikolas Barrera (part of Name and the NOVAK Collective) and exhibition boxing by Northumbria Amateur Boxing Club, introduced by former Cruiserweight Champion, Glenn McCrory.

Galili is choreographing a challenging new piece which explores the fusion and tension of boxing, stretching his incredible creative talent into an interpretation that will reveal the synergies between boxing and contemporary dance. The music will be composed and performed by Northumbrian Piper, Andy May.

The second event will take place at Newcastle Theatre Royal in 2012 as part of The Cultural Olympiad and the Theatre’s 175th birthday celebrations. This brand new dance commission will stage its world premiere at The Theatre Royal in 2012 showcasing the award winning Israeli choreographer, Itzik Galili whose inspirational style and humour has earned him world-class acclaim for his unique brand of physical dance.

This event promises to be the dance phenomenon of the year. Keep visiting the Seconds Out website for future details.
