Yewande 103 - Many Lifetimes

A community of transforming solos by Yewande 103.

Join us for a gently-paced evening of mesmerising solos – where you will witness movement tenderly transforming between one performer and the next.

Many Lifetimes is a poetic new dance-installation from interdisciplinary dance company Yewande 103, accompanied by live music from Bianca Wilson and Femi Oriogun-Williams.

Beneath a suspended linen canopy and gentle rain of melting ice, Many Lifetimes continues founder Alexandrina Yewande Hemsley’s enquiries into tidal cycles of love, loss and repair. Working collaboratively with dancers, musicians and disability access advocates, this sculptural and tender performance is steeped in personal archives around change, remembrance and gathering together.

Yewande 103 creates work that delves into the sensorial, the bodily, the autobiographical and emotional – always in community. They believe in enlivened, sensitive, caring and inclusive creative projects.

Yewande 103 formalises over 17 years of Alexandrina’s work in contemporary dance nationally and internationally. Her work has been commissioned by Dance City, Somerset House, Disability Arts Online, Sadler’s Wells, Theaterformen and Battersea Arts Centre amongst others.
