Rebecca Manson Jones joins as creative director - there will no longer be an artistic director post - after five years as founding director of Almeida Projects. Meanwhile, Katherine Scott has been appointed marketing and customer services director. She has previously worked at The Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton and Northern Ballet Theatre. Neal Whitfield, currently finance manager at the Northcott, will take over the role of finance and admin director.
Manson Jones commented: “I’m delighted to be joining the Exeter Northcott at this exciting and challenging time in the theatre’s history. The new team is already committed to our vision to put Exeter Northcott back on the map as a vibrant and vital force for theatre. We’re already identifying and championing new talent, and will be co-producing with leading companies, while continuing to develop our own work for presentation in Exeter, throughout rural Devon and nationally. It’s a long journey but we’re well on our way.”

The Roundhouse
Chalk Farm Road
London NW1 8EH
www.roundhouse.org.uk
Nearest tube: Chalk Farm or Camden Town
The most talked-about dancework of 2007 has been re-imagined for the Roundhouse’s magnificent main space.
In Your Rooms was a hit at The Place, Southbank Centre and Sadler's Wells, catapulting Hofesh Shechter into the spotlight and quickly establishing him as one of the most original artists working in the UK today.
"Choreographed with such verve that its effect is almost ecstatic. It is an arrestingly powerful piece" The Guardian
Now expanded to include 16 dancers and 20 musicians who perform a mash-up of rock, electro and classical sounds live on stage, here the show is presented in a gig-style setting with standing areas and spectacular tiered staging. The result is a truly unique contemporary dance event that pushes the boundaries of dance into brand new terrain.
More details/online booking
If you haven’t yet seen Shechter’s uncompromisingly direct, raw and politically charged work, these two performances at the Roundhouse on 27 and 28 February are a great way to discover it. And if you’ve enjoyed his work already, be prepared to experience it in an entirely fresh new light.
"Probably the most important dancework to have been created since the millennium The Observer
PS:
This month will also see Sadler’s Wells present an exciting new collaboration between three of the world’s foremost creative minds: internationally acclaimed dancer Sylive Guillem, world-renowned theatre-maker Robert Lepage and award-winning choreographer Russell Maliphant.
Eonnogata is at Sadler’s Wells from 26 February to 8 March.

PEAK PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS for independent dancers
There is still time to book for .....
WINTER RECESS
14/15 Feb 2009
PEAK PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS
for independent dancers
Alongside the development of an ongoing artistic practice, an additional part of a dance artists’ ability to maintain their physical acuity, strength and stamina, is the cultivation of an appropriate physical training. Within London this can often be done through a range of dance technique classes, or bodywork classes programmed with the dance artist in mind. For those working outside London, usually the supply of these classes is limited or non-existent, leaving the independent dance artist to develop their own body- training programme.
This Winter Recess addresses the physical side of a dance artists training by offering a range of taster sessions in various bodywork techniques led by regionally based practitioners recommended by fellow dance artists including ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE (Miranda Tuffnell), FELDENKRAIS (Vreni Booth), GYROKINESIS (Ashley Russell), HOLISTIC YOGA (Jim Brown), TAI CHI (Olugbenga Taiwo).
DANCE SCIENTIST, Sarah Irvine will offer expert guidance on ways to devise your own fitness programme for peak performance with physiological information on elements to consider for optimum benefit plus practical advice on what you can do for little or no cost outside of a studio as part of a daily programme.
Winter Recess is therefore suitable for those making the transition from student to professional life, for dance artists wanting to change their current practice so as to improve or maintain their performance and for those without access to regular dance training.
Weekend also includes talks, networking, improvisation jam and consultation seminars led by Dance UK Healthier Dancer Programme (Helen Laws) and Independent Dance (Gill Clarke and Fiona Millward).
Swindon Dance invited Independent Dance to curate this Winter Recess in light of both organisations’ policy of developing the practice of independent dancers at different stages of their career.
The unique elements of this weekend include:
5 taster sessions in diverse bodywork forms led by experienced practitioners from the regions.
Seminar and talks to support you in creating an appropriate training programme
Listings of practitioners in South West and South East areas who have been personally recommended by dance artists, or who are trained dance artists themselves.
An opportunity to contribute to a Dance UK Healthier Dancer national consultation
